Chaos erupted at Gatwick Airport with at least nine airplanes issuing emergency codes as they were left hovering because a British Airways aircraft was blocking the runway. Inside London Gatwick was even more chaotic as flights were delayed in the middle of a summer travel peak.
Flight BA2673 arrived as scheduled at the airport from Palma de Mallorca, Spain at 11:50 p.m. on Tuesday. But it stayed on the runway as emergency teams rushed to the scene. British Airways said there was a 'technical fault' on the aircraft, while unofficial reports specified that a nose-wheel steering issue reportedly caused the discord.
