A helicopter landed safely after sparking a full emergency at a Scottish airport today.
The Bristow-operated chopper had to return to Aberdeen International Airport due to problems detected on board the aircraft.
A spokeswoman confirmed that “a caution light falsely displayed causing the false alarm” and Bristow released the following statement:  “Bristow Helicopters Ltd can confirm that one of its helicopters requested priority landing at Aberdeen Airport today.
“A caution light falsely displayed causing the false alarm. The airport emergency services attended as per standard practice, but no assistance was required.
