Sorry its a few days late only just saw it (bbc news online):
A plane en route to Belfast International Airport has made an emergency landing in Spain.
The aircraft had taken off from Malaga on Saturday morning, but its windscreen cracked and it had to land at Santander Airport.
A spokesperson said a replacement windscreen was being flown in from Palma and would be fitted at Santander.
The plane is expected to continue its journey to Belfast where it is due to land later on Saturday.

Thanks for that BFS – i was told easyJet but FUA makes sense since replacement was flown in from Palma!!!

It was actually a FUA 738.

737-700 used on all European flights from Belfast. Sometimes the odd 733 temp. while a 737-700 is broken etc. All malaga flights ive seen have been 737-700NG aircraft!

Do you know the type of the plane ?
737-300 or -700 (I doubt the A319 because it is mainly used to flights from and to switzerland, afaik).
