Donald Trump's private plane lands at Scottish airport

ONE of Donald Trump's private planes has landed at Edinburgh Airport.

The plane is believed to be carrying one of Trump’s sons, The Scotsman reports.

The flight landed shortly before 10am on Thursday at the passenger terminal.

The Boeing 757 aircraft is also believed to be flying on to Prestwick later.

The itinerary suggests Eric Trump is on board as he is a regular visitor to the Trump Turnberry resort near Prestwick.

He took over the running of his father’s golf businesses in 2017 and said in November the president would visit Scotland this year for the opening of a new golf course in Aberdeenshire.

We told how the Trump Turnberry course was vandalised by pro-Palestine activists over the US president's position on Gaza.

The words “Gaza is not for sale” were also painted across the lawn.

A man was arrested in connection with vandalism and has since been released pending further enquiries.

A post on Twitter/X by @Shauns_Radar shortly before 9am said: “N757AF, Trump’s non-presidential aircraft aka "Trump Force One" is currently NW of Ireland en route to Edinburgh Airport.”

Angus Duncan posted on X shortly before 10am that the plane had landed at the passenger terminal.
