Passengers on yesterday’s British Airways flight BA143 from London Heathrow, United Kingdom, and Delhi, India, were in for a treat as 3,5 hours into the 8-hour-flight, the Boeing 787-9 (registered G-ZBKO) headed back to …. Heathrow.
According to radar images, the Dreamliner was flying north of Istanbul when the pilots decided to head back.
Upon arrival back at London Heathrow, the aircraft was met by a fire truck.

The airline was quick to arrange a new aircraft (a Boeing 787-9, registered G-ZBKR), and the passengers landed in Delhi with a delay of over 10 hours.
Passengers that were scheduled on return flight BA142 were accommodated in hotels. One of them was so unhappy that he rushed to social media to complain:
