Heathrow: British Airways flight to India turns around 3 hours into journey

A British Airways flight returned back the way it came around three hours after it took off from Heathrow Airport on Tuesday morning (January 10). A spokesperson for the airline said it decided to return the plane to London as a precaution due to a minor technical issue.

The flight to Delhi, India, departed at 11.10am and was due to arrive at 1.42am, local time. However, around three hours into the journey, flight BA143 appears to be turning around while over Romania.

It began turning at around 3.10pm while over the Black Sea, off the coast of Bulgaria and Turkey.

A BA spokesperson said: "Our pilots decided to return to London as a precaution due to a minor technical issue.

"We have apologised to our customers for the disruption to their journey and our teams have arranged a replacement aircraft to get everyone on their way as quickly as possible once they land."

The plane safely landed back at Heathrow.
