Loganair flight makes emergency landing in Aberdeen after suffering technical issue

Loganair said a flight from London Heathrow to Dundee made an emergency landing in Aberdeen after a “technical issue.” The aircraft, flight LM622, departed Tuesday morning and was expected to arrive in Dundee when it issued an emergency alert, prompting diversion to Aberdeen. Loganair confirmed the problem related to a “technical issue affecting the aircraft” and said it was arranging onward travel for passengers and crew, while apologizing for the disruption. The plane, registered G-LMRE, also makes regular visits to Sumburgh, where Loganair runs a twice-weekly Heathrow–Sumburgh service via Dundee on Tuesdays and Thursdays, though this specific flight was not scheduled to stop at Sumburgh. The report notes that the ATR 42-500 model previously experienced a severe electrical failure and momentary deceleration soon after takeoff on a 27 August 2022 incident. An AAIB report into that “serious incident” found clear evidence of power loss from the emergency electrical network.
