A British Airways flight took a 6,000-mile ‘flight to nowhere’ due to a ‘minor technical fault’.
The plane did a u-tun at the halfway point of its journey to Tokyo, which meant passengers touched down at Heathrow an hour after they were due to land in the Japanese capital.
Among the passengers was one half of the dance music duo Gorgon City.

‘Sorry but due to @British_Airways flight being redirected home I won’t be with you tonight Tokyo. Kye is on his way tho. Matt,’ he tweeted.
British Airways may have to pay up to £300,000, the Independent reports. It is thought that it will have to pay hundreds of pounds in compensation to the passengers on board and those in Japan who were due to catch the plane’s return flight.
A spokesman for BA told the Independent that a “minor technical fault” was to blame for the return to Heathrow.
