A British Airways crewmember unintentionally deployed the plane’s emergency slide at London’s Heathrow Airport on Monday morning, delaying the flight for hours.
The flight, which was scheduled to fly to Brussels, was delayed for almost three hours after the worker error, a British Airways spokesperson informed Fox Enterprise Digital on Tuesday.
“We apologized to customers for the delay and our teams worked hard to arrange a replacement aircraft so customers were able to travel with us as planned,” the spokesperson mentioned in a press release.
No prospects had been aboard the plane on the time of the incident, and emergency companies responded as a part of a regular precautionary measure, the spokesperson mentioned.
