An Edinburgh flight bound for the United States has been grounded in the capital after a fuel leak on the tarmac forced a major cleanup operation.
The United Airlines UA37 daily service to New Jersey’s Newark was due to take off shortly after 9am on Sunday morning but passengers were prevented from boarding amid concerns of an issue with the aircraft.
Emergency crews were scrambled to assist with the procedure to remove the substance, however an Edinburgh Airport spokesman said there was no further danger to travellers.
