THE first ever easyJet flight to depart from the Isle of Man was forced to return shortly after it departed on May 21.
The airbus was recalled after a firefighter spotted a loose hatch door when the plane took off.
In fact it turned out to be the cover of a vent which would close automatically as the plane takes off and the cabin is pressurised.
After a 40 minute delay the plane took off again.
Airport duty officer Richard Mylchreest said: "The easyJet flight was recalled as a result of ground staff being unfamiliar with this type of aircraft but the captain complimented the ground staff for being so observant."
