BA plane damaged after tipping on to nose at Heathrow
A British Airways plane has been damaged after tipping on to its nose at Heathrow.The incident happened while the aircraft was parked on tarmac at the west London airport.An airline spokesman said: “A freighter aircraft has been damaged while stationary on stand.“As a freighter-only aircraft there were no passengers on board.“Safety is always our highest priority and we are investigating the matter.”
Heathrow Airport's CEO has slammed a new £10 transit charge as "unnecessary" and one that makes the UK "uncompetitive" to the rest of Europe. The government has forced people entering the UK without a visa, including airline transit passengers, to get a £10 electronic travel authorisation (ETA). Thomas Woldbye says he understands the government wants to control borders, but argues transit passengers "never touch our border". Report by Brooksl.
