Two easyJet flights were forced to divert to Germany within days of each other after separate technical issues, disrupting travel plans for hundreds of passengers.

The latest incident involved easyJet flight U27938 from Copenhagen to Amsterdam, operated by an Airbus A319-111 registered OE-LQP. While cruising at approximately 34,000 feet over northern Germany, the crew declared an emergency by squawking 7700 before diverting to Hamburg Airport.

The aircraft landed safely, where emergency services met the flight as a standard precaution. EasyJet has not disclosed the reason for the emergency declaration, and there have been no reports of injuries or other onboard incidents.

Passengers Reached Amsterdam Hours Later

Following the precautionary landing, the Airbus A319 remained in Hamburg for technical inspections. Passengers were unable to continue on the same aircraft, with easyJet later arranging a replacement Airbus A320 to complete the journey to Amsterdam. The diversion resulted in passengers arriving more than eight hours behind schedule.

Gatwick Flight Also Diverted

The Copenhagen diversion came just days after another easyJet service experienced technical problems.

On 4 July, flight EZY8695 from London Gatwick to Innsbruck diverted to Munich after the crew identified a suspected technical issue. The Airbus, carrying holidaymakers and families travelling to the Austrian Alps, made a precautionary diversion in accordance with standard operating procedures.

According to easyJet, the captain carried out a routine landing in Munich in line with established safety procedures. The airline said the diversion was prompted by a suspected technical issue, although it did not provide further details.

Passengers reportedly remained in Munich for several hours while arrangements were made for the continuation of their journey, leaving many holidaymakers stranded mid-trip.
