The parking brake was not selected fully 'OFF' prior to departure from Copenhagen resulting in the main tyres deflating during the subsequent landing ground roll at Edinburgh. The resultant degradation in the aircraft's take-off performance, from an unusually long and wide runway, was not appreciated by the crew. Distraction prior to takeoff and the lack of a checklist item, both in the pre-takeoff and before landing checklists, referring to the parking brake selector position, exacerbated this oversight.
