A USA-bound flight was pressured to make an emergency touchdown after taking off from Edinburgh Airport round 11am at present. The crew on United Airways flight UA-37 declared a mid-air alert, shortly after departing the Scottish capital, and landed in Eire on Wednesday afternoon.
The flight landed safely at Shannon Airport, County Clare, at 12.05pm, and was met by emergency providers on the bottom. It's understood the Boeing 767-400 (ER) jet broadcast an emergency squawk sign after struggling pressurisation points.
Engineers are at present investigating the reason for the issue and the airline has apologised to the 252 passengers and crew on board the plane - sure for Newark, New Jersey - for the inconvenience.
A United Airways spokesperson instructed breakingnews.ie : "Our workforce at Shannon Airport is offering help to prospects of United flight 37 (Edinburgh-New York/Newark) which diverted to Shannon Airport to deal with a technical subject.
"Our upkeep workforce is at present inspecting the plane which is at present scheduled to depart from Shannon for New York/Newark at 2:00 pm (native time) at present. We apologise to our prospects for the inconvenience precipitated."
