A passenger jet destined for New York was repeatedly circling over the Fylde coast for more than two hours last night (Wednesday, December 11, 2019).

The flight which had departed Heathrow Airport at 6,27am, is thought to have been dumping fuel before heading back to Heathrow for maintenance following a mechanical issue.
