NextImg:Virgin Atlantic flight makes emergency landing in latest plane mishap this week

Emergency crews scrambled to meet a Virgin Atlantic flight en route from Florida to Scotland Wednesday after the plane reported issues mid-flight.

Scores of ambulances and fire crews surrounded the tarmac at Edinburgh Airport as Flight VS226 touched down around 11 am local time after the pilots warned they’d need landing assistance, Edinburgh Live reported.

The aircraft had suffered a burst front nose gear shortly after taking off from Orlando Tuesday night.
Virgin Atlantic has since confirmed the issue was tied to tire pressure.

“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,” a Virigin Atlantic spokesperson said.

“The safety of our customers and crew is always our top priority and the aircraft had landed as normal.”
