A flight by German airline Lufthansa carrying 80tons of fruit and vegetables has landed in the UK to ensure supermarkets stay stocked for the Christmas period.
The Boeing 777 cargo plane was due to touch down at Doncaster airport earlier today.
The flight was necessary after France closed its border to all traffic in and out of the England leaving thousands of lorries carrying perishable goods stuck in French ports.
Lufthansa are looking at the possibility of using passenger planes for further cargo flights into England saying “Lufthansa Cargo is checking whether or not additional flights can be offered in the next few days.”
