AA 767 diverts to Stornoway!
Airline passengers had to be hoisted on to the runway at Stornoway Airport after their plane made an emergency landing there yesterday(25/4).
The American Airlines Boeing twin-engined 767 jet, on its way from Sweden to Chicago, landed after an 83-year-old passenger suffered a fatal heart attack.
It was the first time in years that a wide-bodied passenger jet had landed at the Western Isles airport. A loading hoist was used to disembark the 87 passengers because there were no suitable steps."
