An easyJet flight from Palma de Mallorca bound for Glasgow was forced to divert to Liverpool due to a lack of fuel.
Flight EJU7357 departed Palma de Mallorca Airport shortly after 7:45pm local time on Sunday, May 31, bound for Glasgow Airport.
The aircraft was en route to Glasgow before it diverted to Liverpool John Lennon Airport.
EasyJet said the flight was required to make a "technical stop" in Liverpool. It added that this is "standard operating procedure".
However, in a message to passengers online, the airline said that the disruption to the flight was "outside of our control and is considered to be an extraordinary circumstance".
"We plan to refuel and continue your flight as soon as possible", the airline's message added.
On Sunday evening, both Glasgow and Edinburgh airports experienced issues with the supply of jet fuel.
Some passengers at both airports reported delays to their flights due to problems with deliveries of jet fuel.
The situation around the Strait of Hormuz, where shipping has been severely constrained since the outbreak of the Iran war, has led to a reduction in the global supply of jet fuel.
However the issues at the two Scottish airports were understood to be linked to a shortage in drivers for fuel lorries rather than the global market.

On Monday, both airports said their operations are returning to normal.
Jet fuel is purchased by airlines, while the airports provide storage and infrastructure.
A spokesperson for easyJet said: “Flight EJU7357 from Palma to Glasgow on 31 May was initially delayed due to air traffic control restrictions and then required to make a technical stop in Liverpool, which is a standard operating procedure.
“We are sorry for the inconvenience this delay may have caused.”
