British Airways passengers endured a nine-hour ‘flight to nowhere’ across the Atlantic due to a minor technical fault.
The Houston bound flight had reached North America but then turned around and returned to London Heathrow.
The Boeing Dreamliner jet had just crossed the Canada-US border when the pilots were alerted to a ‘minor technical issue.’
It didn’t warrant an emergency diversion so the plane returned to the UK.
The flight to nowhere was in the air nine and a half hours, crossing the Atlantic twice.
BA hasn’t disclosed what the technical glitch was.
It landed without incident at London Heathrow.
“The flight returned to London Heathrow as a precaution due to a minor technical issue. It landed safely and customers disembarked as normal,” BA said.
“We’ve apologised to our customers for the disruption to their journey.”
