A Jet2 flight from Stansted to Ibiza made an emergency U-turn over northern France about an hour after taking off. Pilots transmitted a "squawk 7700" code, which is an international alert for general emergencies, and landed at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport before 11 am. Emergency ground crews were on standby, and the airline is expected to continue the flight to Ibiza soon.
