This journey takes 10 hours and 20 minutes. The Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner plane had taken off from London. It was in the air for 5 hours. It was reaching the coast of Newfoundland. Meanwhile, the plane had crossed the entire Atlantic Ocean. There was not much journey left. But suddenly the plane was turned by the pilot and it started returning.

The plane returned to the place from where it took off
After this, the plane again crossed the entire Atlantic Ocean and reached London. In this way, the plane remained in the air for about 9 hours and covered a distance of 7000 kilometers in going and coming back. There were 300 passengers in the plane who were disappointed that they returned to the same place from where they had started their journey. According to Fox News, the plane was landed safely. The airline did not mention the problem but sources revealed that there was some defect in the engine of the jet. Because of that, there would have been no problem in this flight of the plane, it would have reached America but there could have been a problem in the next flight, due to this it was better to return the plane.
The airline apologized to the passengers
The airline said that they apologized to the passengers and provided them booking on the next flight, also provided them accommodation and assured them that if they suffered any loss, they would be compensated for it. Travel experts of the One Mile at a Time website speculated that the flight must have been returned to London because the manufacturer of the engine was Rolls Royce and British Airways had a contract with Rolls Royce. All the inputs and facilities related to the contract must have been at Heathrow Airport, England, due to which the plane must have been returned.
