Dreamliner in emergency landing at Glasgow airport
A Boeing 787 Dreamliner flying from Chicago to Poland made an emergency landing in Scotland following an alert from the fire protection system in the baggage hold.
The Polish airline LOT flight, with 248 passengers on board, was met by emergency services at Glasgow airport this morning. It was given the all clear before it taxied to a stand.
"The crew received an alert from the fire protection system in the baggage hold. In accordance with safety rules, the plane had to land at the nearest airport for checks," LOT spokeswoman Barbara Pijanowska-Kuras told Poland’s TVN24 channel.
Friday’s flight was diverted after the pilot requested an emergency landing, said a spokesman for Glasgow airport. The passengers had disembarked and further checks were being made.
"Glasgow Airport remained open and operational throughout," he added.
