Emergency services alongside the plane at Aberdeen Airport
A passenger plane has landed at Aberdeen Airport after an emergency was declared on board.
Eastern Airways flight T3726 from Norwich was due to land in Aberdeen at 15.20 but the alarm was raised as the plane passed over the border.
The plane landed safely and fire crews are currently at the airport, with three appliances and 14 firefighters attending to the plane.
An Eastern Airways spokesman said: “The captain operating flight T3726 from Norwich to Aberdeen received a cockpit warning indication relating to the aircraft’s hydraulic system prior to landing in Aberdeen.
“As a precautionary measure the airport’s fire service was in attendance, but was later stood down.
“The Jetstream 41 aircraft with 19 passengers and three crew on board landed safely at 3.42pm and passengers disembarked the aircraft as normal via the aircraft steps.
“We have launched an investigation and engineers will be inspecting the aircraft.
“We apologise to passengers for any inconvenience, however the safety of our passengers and crew is our primary concern.”
