BA inspects nine aircraft following incident at London City

British Airways is inspecting nine aircraft following a ââ¬Ëœhard landingââ¬â¢ at London City Airport on Friday evening.

It is conducting an investigation into all of the BAE Systems-manufactured Avro RJ100 aircraft in its fleet following the incident, which saw one passengers suffer minor injuries.

The flight from Amsterdam, with 71 people on board, lost its front wheels when it skidded to a halt at London City.

Passengers were taken off using the emergency chutes and one person was taken to hospital.

London City was closed following the incident and suffered minor delays on Saturday, but is back to normal operations today.

A BA spokesman said: ââ¬ÅâœWe are co-operating with the Accident Investigation Board who are investigating the incident.

ââ¬ÅâœWe continue to offer support to the passengers and crew who were involved.ââ¬~
