Bristol Airport: TUI jet aborts landing in Bristol and issues 'emergency code'

A holiday jet transmitted an emergency code after it aborted an attempt to land at Bristol Airport seconds before touchdown.

The TUI flight from the Cape Verde islands was coming in to land at Bristol Airport just after 6am this morning when it suddenly aborted the landing and climbed again, before diverting to Birmingham Airport instead.

Data from the FlightRadar website showed the Boeing 787 Dreamliner had descended to just 825ft off the ground as it crossed over the A38 road next to the airport at Luslgate, before aborting the landing attempt and heading back up towards Weston-super-Mare.
