Flight coming from London to Chennai also had a problem on Sunday.

 

On Sunday also, British Airways flight BA35, which left for Chennai (India) from London's Heathrow Airport, experienced a technical problem just minutes after takeoff. The Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner took off at 1:16 pm (British time) with a delay of 36 minutes, but at an altitude of about 15,000 feet, the pilots found signs of a problem in the flap system. As per the safety protocol, the plane flew several times in a holding pattern over the Bay of Dover. During this time, the plane remained at 12,000 feet for about 30 minutes, and for a safe landing, additional fuel was dropped in the air to reduce weight. After a total of about one hour and 45 minutes, the plane landed safely on the runway at Heathrow. All passengers and crew were safely evacuated.
