En route the crew received a fire warning on the number 2 engine, after which they proceeded to shut down the engine. Diverted to Southend Airport (SEN/EGMC). Landed safely at 08:48. No evidence of fire.
Following initial investigations it appeared that there may have been a false alarm. A Blue Islands spokesperson said: "At approximately 08:28 local this morning, the Blue Islands flight SI712 Jersey to London City with 28 passengers and three crew on-board, experienced a safety warning.
"As a precautionary measure the engine was shut down, and this flight followed standard procedures and diverted to London Southend Airport. The aircraft landed safely at London Southend at 08:48.
"The aircraft is currently being inspected by engineers at Southend. Initial indications are that no fire took place and it appears to be a false alert.
"The passengers were then transported by road to London City Airport. Passenger, crew and aircraft safety is our number one priority at all times."
