EasyJet Flight U28059 (EZY26CB), en route from Gatwick to Barcelona, was forced to return over the English Channel due to what we understand from @FlightEmergency to be an electrical odor in the cockpit, triggering a Squawk 7700 emergency alert. The fire service has met the aircraft, and it is currently heading back to the Gatwick Airport stand for further inspection.
EasyJet has been contacted for comment more when we get it.
