British Airways staff accidentally deployed the plane’s emergency slide at London’s Heathrow Airport on Monday morning, delaying it for hours.
The flight, which was due to fly to Brussels, was delayed for about three hours after a crew error, a British Airways spokesperson told Fox Business Digital on Tuesday.
“We apologize to customers for the delay and our teams have worked hard to arrange a replacement flight so that customers can travel with us as planned,” the statement said in a statement.
No customers were on board the plane at the time of the incident, and emergency services responded as part of normal safety measures, a police spokeswoman said.

“It’s a small mistake of £100,000 and we’ve had resources out all day,” a source told the media. “This error is not easy to reach.”
