Chaos as British Airways Jet Suffers Mid-Flight Tyre Blowout!
Runway Shutdown at Gatwick
British Airways flight BA2272 from New York’s JFK airport faced a nerve-jangling scare this morning when it experienced a deflated tyre mid-flight. The drama forced Gatwick’s main runway to shut for 19 minutes from 7:42 AM.
Flight Lands Safely Despite Scare
A Gatwick Airport spokesperson confirmed: “Gatwick’s main runway was closed for 19 minutes due to a British Airways flight (BA2272) from JFK experiencing a deflated tyre. The runway has since reopened and flights are operating as normal.”
Passengers Disembark Calmly
The aircraft landed safely and taxied to the stand. Passengers disembarked as usual, unharmed and none the worse for the frightening mid-air hiccup.
