The flight had to be diverted to Heathrow
A Qatar Airways flight from Edinburgh was forced to make a diversion mid-air due to a problem with the onboard fridges.
Flight QR030 left the capital for Doha shortly after 3pm on Thursday, October 9, before it had to be sent to London Heathrow.

It’s understood passengers witnessed crew load food onto the flight before departing from Heathrow.
