Edinburgh Delta Air Lines flight makes emergency landing minutes after take-off

An Edinburgh flight has been forced to make an emergency landing just minutes after taking off.

The Delta Air Lines flight, which was New York bound, was forced to land at Glasgow Prestwick Airport as four fire engines rushed to the scene and were present on the runway, as the Record reports.

It is understood that the aircraft developed a mechanical issue shortly after take-off causing it to be re-routed. The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service confirmed that they remain in attendance at the Glasgow airport.
