British Airways Flight to Portugal Diverted After 'Minor Technical Issue'

10:50 AM EDT, 10/13/2026 (MT Newswires) -- A British Airways flight going to Faro, Portugal, diverted following a "minor technical issue" and has returned to London Gatwick Airport on Tuesday, according to a same-day emailed statement to MT Newswires. "We have apologised to customers for the delay to their journey, and our teams are working hard to get their travel plans back on track," a spokesperson for the International Consolidated Airlines Group (IAG.L) unit said. Flight data provider AirNav Radar earlier posted on X that the Airbus (AIR.PA, AIR.F) A321 suffered a "cracked" passenger window.
