A Britain-bound Emirates flight has declared an emergency today.

The flight declared the emergency as it attempted to land.

The flight was scheduled to touch down in London.

But it was caught up in mid-air drama on Friday as Storm Erik wreaks havoc.

The EK15 flight was bound for London Gatwick, but high winds prevented it.

The flight has reportedly been declared on an Emirates flight running low on fuel.

The pilot has reportedly been forced into an emergency landing in the North West.

It's believed the flight had departed Dubai.
