    air china a330 burning off fuel off the coast of Uk and at 5,000 feet. left gatwick and was bound for beijing, but is heading back.

    CA852 / CCA852

    emergency declared and return flight already cancelled, which is strange - plane only took off 45 minutes ago or so.

    For all issues with the aircraft I guess, yeah. Not so with medicals apart from a marshall and ambulance etc I'm assuming.

    Rumour on Twitter that it was a pressurisation issue.

    would it not have been better to carry on anyway and land at its destination?

    UPDATE: hearing that #CA852 had a main landing gear problem. was seen with main gear down, whilst nose gear was retracted - @NikPhillips666

    The unsafe gear hanging in the breeze will increase drag and consequently increase the fuel burned. They would have been unsure of their fuel burn if they were to continue.

    May not be allowed move it until it has been inspected.


    In a similar problem 2 years ago we landed on rwy 23L in Manchester and couldn't move until an engineer carried out an inspection of the gear and inserted the locking pins.

    Things seem ok to take off from LGW but still nothing making an approach..

    LGW does have two runways right? I'm being silly if so..

    Yes, but not for simultaneous use. A disabled AC on one should allow the other to operate though.

    Just noticed that EI Regional are showing up on flightradar 24 with Stobart call signs even though they are operating with EI flight numbers, eg; Cork-Bristol EI 3842 showing on Flt24 as STK42BR.
