It is currently in a holding pattern near Newhaven, according to flight tracking website Flightradar24.

Flight VS43 took off at 11.44am from Gatwick and was heading to Las Vegas.

Virgin Atlantic says Flight VS43 will implement ‘non-standard landing procedure’ due to landing gear problem discovered after takeoff from London Gatwick Airport
