Passengers at Aberdeen International Airport had their travel plans disrupted after a tyre blew out on a plane due to leave for Dublin.
The Loganair flight on Friday was cancelled and fire crews attended as a precaution.
Passengers were taken off the aircraft and returned to the terminal.
A Loganair spokesperson said: “We can confirm our flight from Aberdeen to Dublin experienced a technical problem on departure.
“As a precaution, the passengers were disembarked safely and returned to the terminal, where they were taken into the care of our ground teams.
“The aircraft will now be taken to our hangar for further inspection.
“Safety is always our primary concern, and we thank the crew and the airport for their assistance.”
A spokesperson for Aberdeen International Airport said two flights were diverted after the issue with the Loganair aircraft, but operations have since returned to normal.
