An Abuja bound British Airways plane that took off from London on Tuesday November 26, executed a return after losing an engine mid-flight.

In a statement sent to newsmen by the airline, it said:
“The aircraft experienced a minor technical issue and our pilots elected to return to Heathrow,” it said in a statement.
“In terms of the emergency services meeting the aircraft, this is standard practice. Our aircraft returned to Heathrow and was met by the emergency services as a precaution after experiencing a minor technical issue. Our teams looked after our customers last night, providing them with overnight accommodation. We’re sorry to our customers for the delay to their travel plans”.
