A Loganair flight was forced to make an emergency landing at Aberdeen Airport on June 23, 2026, after a technical issue was identified mid-air. Flight LM622, traveling from London Heathrow to Dundee, issued a Squawk 7700 emergency alert before diverting to Aberdeen.
Technical Issue Prompts Diversion
The airline confirmed that the diversion was a precautionary measure to ensure passenger safety. A Loganair spokesperson stated: “Loganair can confirm that flight LM622 from London Heathrow to Dundee diverted to Aberdeen on June 23, 2026, due to a technical issue affecting the aircraft. The safety of our customers and crew will always be our top priority, and we are arranging onward travel as quickly as possible. We apologise for the disruption to our customers’ journeys and thank them for their patience and understanding.”
Impact on Dundee Airport Services
Dundee Airport, which opened in 1963, primarily handles private and charter flights. Loganair operates flights from Orkney and Shetland from the airport, along with two daily flights to London. However, it was announced in April 2026 that the London flights will cease in September, putting 30 jobs at risk.
Passenger Safety Prioritized
No injuries were reported from the incident. The airline is working to arrange alternative transport for affected passengers. The aircraft remained at Aberdeen for inspection.
