Edinburgh Airport was flooded with emergency services this morning after a Virgin Atlantic flight made an emergency landing.
The plane reportedly burst its front nose gear after departing from Orlando, Florida, and required assistance while landing.
The front landing tyre was flat, sparking fears of a runway crash – more than 3,000 people watched the landing on FlightRadar24.
The plane has now safely landed, and emergency vehicles are attending to the flight.
A Virgin Atlantic spokesperson said: ‘As a precautionary measure we have requested engineers meet our flight the VS226 travelling from Orlando to Edinburgh upon landing due to low nose gear tyre pressure.
‘The safety of our customers and crew is always our top priority and the aircraft had landed as normal.’
