A Virgin Atlantic flight travelling from Manchester to New York was cancelled just before take-off after a passenger noticed a problem with the bolts on one of the wings.
The incident happened on Jan. 15, 2024. Flight VS127, heading to New York's JFK airport, was prevented from taking off from Manchester Airport after a passenger pointed out that the tops of four fasteners were missing on a panel on one of the wings. As a result, the flight was cancelled as a "precautionary measure" to allow engineers to carry out an additional thorough examination of the aircraft.
