The flight in question was British Airways flight BA348. The flight was operated on an Airbus A320 registered G-EUYF. The planned route would have taken the passengers and crew to France’s Nice Côte d’Azur Airport (NCE) in just over 2 hours.

Around ten minutes after departure, the flight crew members issued squawk code 7700, the transponder code used by aircraft to announce a state of emergency. The aircraft then circled over southern London before returning to LHR. The airplane spent less than an hour in the air.

Upon coming to London Heathrow Airport (LHR), the airport fire department greeted the aircraft. After an examination, the airplane was permitted to taxi to the gate where passengers were deplaned safely. The aircraft left the gate at 17:41 local time and was deplaned around 19:00 local time.

A representative for British Airways declared to the public that no one was injured aboard the aircraft and that the diversion back to London Heathrow Airport (LHR) had been made as a safety precaution. The airline spokesperson reported to passengers that another aircraft had been dispatched to their location and that they would reach their final destinations as soon as possible.

British Airways has yet to release details concerning the incident and what caused the pilots to return to London Heathrow Airport. The airline has confirmed to the public that all actions are done with flight safety in mind and that the decision to divert was made by the pilots following their training to operate an aircraft as safely as possible.

Sebastian Mezeret, an off-duty pilot aboard the aircraft, shared on Twitter that he and other passengers noticed strange smells inside the cabin. He also said that the pilots donned oxygen masks during the flight. Mezeret reported that the visit from the fire department seemed casual, hinting that there was no significant threat to passenger safety once the aircraft was on the ground.
