A Chennai-bound British Airways Boeing Dreamliner on Sunday (June 15) returned to London due to a technical snag.
British Airways said all the passengers and crew members landed safely.
The airline did not share details about the departure time of the flight, the number of passengers and crew on board, and for how long the aircraft remained airborne before it returned to London.
“The aircraft returned to Heathrow as a standard precaution after reports of a technical issue,” British Airways said.
The live flight tracking website Flightradar24.com said British Airways flight BA35 was scheduled to depart at 12:40 pm and had to arrive in Chennai at 3:30 am. It departed from London Heathrow at 1:16 pm
Data from Flightradar24.com said the flight BA35 remained airborne for nearly two hours before returning to London Heathrow.
The development comes days after a London-bound Air India Boeing Dreamliner crashed in Ahmedabad killing 241 passengers and crew members on board. Only one passenger survived one of the deadliest aviation tragedies.
