A TUI fly Belgium aeroplane en route from Brussels South Charleroi to the Spanish coastal city of Murcia made an emergency landing in Toulouse due to a medical emergency on board. 

This Monday morning at 06:30 (UTC+2), TUI fly Belgium flight TB1271 operated by Boeing 737-800 registered OO-JEF took off on time from Brussels South Charleroi airport. While en route to Murcia, the plane was diverted to the airport in the French city of Toulouse after a passenger onboard became unwell.
