LONDON: A British Airways plane from France on Monday made a priority landing at Heathrow airport after fumes detected in its passenger cabin, a day after the airways’ Delhi-bound flight made an emergency landing at Berlin.
Flight BA 341 took off from Nice at about British Summer Time (BST) 0630 with 137 passengers on board and landed at the west London airport shortly after 0800. There were no reported injuries among passengers on the flight from Nice.
"The captain of the flight requested a priority landing as a precaution after it was reported that fumes had been detected in the cabin," a spokesman of the airways said. "The plane with 137 passengers on board landed safely and passengers disembarked as normal," he said.
He added that emergency services were put on standby as a routine precaution but their help was not needed.
On Sunday, a Delhi-bound flight Boeing 777 with 222 passengers and 16 crew members made an emergency landing at a German airport following technical problems with its in-flight entertainment system.
