Fire crews attend runway incident at Aberdeen Airport

Fire crews have attended a runway incident at Aberdeen Airport after a Loganair flight to Dublin was unable to take off.

Images from the scene showed an emergency team hosing down the landing gear on a Loganair ATR 72 aircraft, which had been due to depart at 10:05.

The airline said passengers were disembarked and taken to the terminal after a "technical problem" with the plane. No one was injured.

Aberdeen Airport said fire crews attended as a standard precaution, with two flights diverted before normal operations resumed.

A spokesperson for Loganair said: "Safety is always our primary concern, and we thank the crew and the airport for their assistance.

"The aircraft will now be taken to our hangar for further inspection."
