A plane carrying the German National Team was forced into an unscheduled landing in Edinburgh this morning after declaring a mid-air emergency.
The KlasJet flight left Reykjavik at 2 am following Germany’s 4-0 win over Iceland and was heading to Frankfurt.
It got into difficulty approximately three miles West of Arbroath.
It is unclear what the problem was, with radar images showing an emergency change of direction.
However, the official Twitter account for the national team confirmed that ‘’as a precaution, there has been a safe stopover in Edinburgh.’’
They added that ‘’we are fine. Safety check on the machine is now running.’’
