Flight forced into Dublin Airport emergency landing after reporting fuel leak

A flight was forced to return to Dublin Airport and make an emergency landing after reporting a fuel leak on board.

Flight FJO62L, operated by Flexjet Operations Malta, took off from Dublin around 1:35pm this afternoon. The twin-jet Embraer Legacy 550, which can accommodate up to 12 passengers, was forced to turn around though and declared an emergency after reporting a fuel leak.

Dublin Airport's Fire Brigade all rushed to the runway as they awaited the aircraft's landing. Thankfully, the plane was able to land safely at 1:55pm this afternoon, just 20 minutes after taking off, where six emergency vehicles taxied with it to the general aviation stand.
