(35 minutes later) | |
A United Airlines plane bound for Chicago has made an emergency landing in Edinburgh, shortly after taking off from London Heathrow Airport. | |
The Boeing 767 was circling around the city in order to dump fuel, before it finally landed at Edinburgh Airport at around 08:45 GMT. | |
It diverted to the Scottish capital shortly after taking off from London at 07:00 GMT and was about an hour into its flight before having to make an emergency landing. | |
The plane is currently on the runway having made a safe landing and is to be inspected by experts to find out what the problem was. The plane tracking website Airlive claimed a potential fuel issue caused the plane to divert to Edinburgh. |
