"16.00: Following the incident earlier today when a Virgin flight bound for Orlando made an emergency landing, our main runway re-opened at 15.23 and is now fully operational for departing and arriving flights. However, passengers should expect some knock on disruptions as a result of the earlier flight suspensions. The Virgin A330 left Gatwick at 1048 bound for Orlando but returned to make an emergency landing at 1230 due to reports of a technical issue. The aircraft made a safe landing, the emergency services were on the scene and passengers were all safely disembarked from the plane. Flights were suspended for around two hours until our standby runway opened at 1400. As a result of the incident, 26 flights were diverted and nine flights were cancelled. A number has been set up for friends and family wanting to gain information about passengers who were on the aircraft. Please call 0845 6070 999." |
