EXS555 Divert, currently holding/dumping fuel

[mr4gott]

Hi, I've been tracking Flight EXS555 Newcastle to Ibiza. Departed from Newcastle about an hour and a half ago and routed down to Manchester. It suddenly began descending and turned left just North of Stafford and has been in the hold at Dayne for the past 45 minutes at 7,000ft, 200kts, I assume dumping fuel to divert into Manchester. Anyone know what's happened?

Been holding for over an hour now.

Not dumping fuel but burning it off. Came into Manchester and he was indeed holding at DAYNE with just over a tonne left to get rid off! No idea what was wrong or why they were holding.

Looks like Jet2 have suffered yet another problem this evening.

As the LS223 service from Leeds/Bradford to Tenerife South operated by Boeing 757-200WL, G-LSAB has just returned back to Leeds.

He got up to 20,000ft and as far as Wallesy before making a u-turn and then burning some fuel off at 5,000ft in the overhead LBA hold.

He Had 4 tons to burn off to save an over weight landing all casued due a generator
