A plane on its way from Arlanda to Gran Canaria was forced to land in Billund, Denmark at 10.30am. The reason: The co-pilot felt a cold.

– It is better that we replace him in Billund than that he goes with us all the way to Gran Canaria, says the airline’s vice president Birthe Madsen at the airline Jettime.

In total, the travelers are delayed for around two hours and shortly the flight should have taken off from Denmark with a new co-pilot on board.
