Holidaymakers travelling from Liverpool to Lanzarote were delayed overnight.

An easyJet plane headed for Lanzarote was forced to land in London on Wednesday night when a problem arose after taking off in Liverpool.

The airline’s EZY3363 flight to Arrecife departed Liverpool John Lennon Airport at 7.11pm on Wednesday but diverted to London Gatwick due to ‘a technical issue’ with the aircraft.

In a statement on Wednesday evening, easyJet said: “We're sorry that your flight has been delayed overnight. This is due to a technical issue with your aircraft which could not be resolved.”

Passengers stranded in London were offered hotel rooms by the airline and a follow-on flight - with a new number of EZY9363 - is scheduled to leave London at 5.00pm on Friday, arriving in the Canary Islands at around 9.15pm.
