"We sent a double crewed ambulance but she declined hospital treatment."
A spokesperson for easyJet said: "We can confirm that flight EZY6853 from Glasgow to Amsterdam diverted to Newcastle due to a passenger on board requiring urgent medical assistance.
“The aircraft was met by medical services on arrival in Newcastle and will now continue to Amsterdam.
