Last night was an amazing opportunity for lucky passengers to see northern lights over Northern Europe.

The Northern Lights have splashed vivid colour across Northern Europe skies once again, with stunning images captured all across the country.

The Northern Lights have been visible right across the UK and into continental Europe after an extremely geomagnetic storm – G5 – which is the highest on the 1-5 scale.

Starting around 18:00 UTC many passengers were able to view the aurora. It then weakened slightly for a time, before coming back even stronger around midnight and continued until dawn on Friday.

Even kind pilots made sure all the passengers were able to watch the show by performing a little detour like this easyJet flight from Porto, Portugal to Bristol, UK.
