The captain diverted flight FR 2195 to Malmo Sturup where the aircraft landed safely and passengers disembarked. The aircraft was removed from service to undergo a full technical inspection.
A spare aircraft was used to transport the passengers on the rest of their journey from Malmo to London Stansted.
