Two flights diverted to Edinburgh Airport as pilots declare mid-air emergencies

Edinburgh Airport received two unscheduled landings on Thursday after a pair of planes both declared in-flight emergencies.

The two Loganair flights were both diverted to land in the capital after enacting emergency protocol while on route to different locations around the UK.

The first, flight LM46, had taken off from Bristol airport shortly after 9pm, with the small passenger plane bound for Aberdeen Airport. However, nearly an hour after take off, the aircraft emitted a 'Squawk 7700' signal just as they arrived over the Scottish border.
