From the Mail on Sunday today:
"Two Virgin Atlantic passenger jets issued emergency alerts on the same day this year because they were running out of fuel. Air Traffic controllers dealt with a total of four low-fuel emergencies at Stansted Airport, Essex, that day - including a Mayday call.
Two were Virgin 747s, which can carry 451 passengers each. They needed priority landing after flying from America, according to an investigation by the Exaro website.
Virgin Atlantic denied that the planes - named Jersey Girl and Hot Lips - issued maydays. They had been diverted from Gatwick because of severe winds. A passenger on Jersey Girl said: 'To see so many fire engines on landing made me realise it could have been bad'.
On the same day, an Embraer 190, which can carry 114 passengers, was diverted to Southampton and put out a mayday over fuel.
The revelation comes as Spanish authorities investigate Ryanair for three low-fuel maydays in Valencia.
There have been at least 28 cases of UK passenger airlines declaring low-fuel emergencies in the last two years while flying to airports in Britain, the Civil Aviation Authority has revealed. Three were mayday calls made in the last five months of this year. Destinations included Heathrow, Birmingham, Edinburgh, Liverpool, Manchester and Nottingham".
Bearing in mind that Ryanair aircraft are registered in Ireland, I presume that none of their aircraft were involved?
