A British Airways flight to nowhere had to circle 6 times before landing when its wheels got stuck

"However, just five minutes later, it squawked 7700 - a transponder code indicating a problem with the plane, according to Flightradar24. A British Airways spokesperson said that the pilots "identified a technical issue after take-off." It appeared that the plane's landing gear was stuck in the down position, per the flight-tracking site AirNav Radar's "Flight Emergency" X account. The Airbus A320 turned north and entered a holding pattern near the city of Stirling. It circled there six times."

"Edinburgh Airport had to suspend operations until nearly 2 p.m. as it dealt with the plane on the runway. 15 other flights bound for Edinburgh had to divert on Monday, mostly to nearby Glasgow, according to data from Flightradar24. However, a Qatar Airways flight instead landed at Manchester - nearly 200 miles away. And a KLM flight turned around near the coast of eastern England before returning to Amsterdam."

Flight 1443 departed Edinburgh shortly after 11 a.m. bound for London but signalled an emergency five minutes after takeoff by squawking 7700. Pilots identified a technical issue and the aircraft's landing gear appeared stuck in the down position. The Airbus A320 entered a holding pattern near Stirling, circling six times before returning and safely landing at 12:16 p.m. Edinburgh Airport suspended operations until nearly 2 p.m., during which 15 inbound flights diverted primarily to Glasgow; one Qatar Airways flight landed in Manchester and a KLM flight returned to Amsterdam. Passengers were bused to the terminal and the aircraft inspected and towed.
