INCIDENT: German National Team Made An Emergency Landing

The German national team is “OK” after its jet was forced to make an emergency landing in Edinburgh while returning from Iceland.

The KlasJet flight left Reykjavik at 2 a.m., following Germany’s 4-0 triumph against Iceland, and was en route to Frankfurt when it encountered technical difficulties three miles west of Arbroath.

The Boeing 737-500 reported an emergency and made a sudden turn between Dundee and Arbroath before landing in the Scottish capital at 4 a.m., lasting 20 minutes.

The squad tweeted in German, “First and foremost, safety.” As a precaution, make a safe layover in Edinburgh. Individual onward and return journeys are scheduled from there.”
