An aircraft has circled over Suffolk this afternoon after declaring an emergency onboard.
The Norweigan Air flight took off from London Gatwick Airport at about 1.50pm and was scheduled to land at Gothenberg Airport in Sweden at 4.30pm.
While in the air the flight declared a Squawk 7700, which means there was an emergency onboard.
The plane first circled over Norfolk before heading to Suffolk.
The aircraft was seen over Ipswich, Needham Market and Stoke-by-Clare.
The Boeing 737-8JP has since landed at Stansted Airport in Essex.
Air Norway has been approached for a comment.
