A Boeing Dreamliner passenger plane has made an emergency landing at Glasgow Airport.

The LOT Polish Airlines flight was en-route from Chicago in the US to Warsaw in Poland.

The airline says the crew made the decision as a precaution, following an alert from their fire safety equipment.

No fire was found, the aircraft landed safely and no one was hurt.

The plane was met by emergency services at the Scottish airport and deemed safe.

Glasgow Airport says the flight landed safely and that the airport is fully operational.

We are open and operational. We accepted a diverted flight from Chicago to Warsaw which has landed safely.

The aircraft has been plagued by problems. Last year, the world's entire Boeing 787 fleet was grounded for three months to have their battery systems fixed, after a few of the aircraft developed problems that led to the appearance of smoke.

The battery appeared to overheat, reaching temperatures capable of melting rock.

Boeing redesigned the battery, charger and containment system to ensure battery fires would not put the aircraft at risk.

Since then, the aircraft have experienced a series of minor glitche -  including a fault with an air pressure sensor and the brake system.

Boeing insists the Dreamliner is operating safely.
