The British Airways has apologized to its passengers following a technical glitch on one of its planes which was from East London to Johannesburg.
Over the weekend, more than 30 British Airways passengers at the king Phalo Airport in East London were left stranded after their flight turned around mid-air.
It’s understood the flight returned to the airport after the plane’s landing gear allegedly “malfunctioned”.
The plane was bound for Johannesburg.
One of the passengers on board the plane, Mandla Mqebeja said the aircraft rerouted after an issue with its landing gear emerged forcing passengers and crew members to disembark.
“When we landed, they told us to stay on, and they wanted to check what the problem was. Then they found out the problem couldn’t be fixed at the moment and that we needed to get out of the plane. How come they didn’t inspect the plane before it departed.”
Passengers were left scrambling after the airline cancelled the flight.
