Heathrow flight surrounded by police and ambulances on runway | UK | News

A plane in Heathrow was surrounded by emergency services and was taken back to the door. According to the Flightradar24 site, the plane had to go back to the airport due to “wing problems”.

Youtube channel Flightfocus365, which broadcasts live aircraft movements, showed a plane surrounded by flashing emergency vehicles, including those who look like police and fire departments. An X user said, “Is there any idea about what’s going on with LHR?” They then confirmed that it was moving, but “still accompanied”.

Flghtradar24, the rear edge of the aircraft wings hinged extensions connected to the wing problems. They extend during departure and descent and allow lifting and drag and allow the aircraft to fly at lower speeds.

If the wings on an aircraft do not work, the aircraft may need to fly at higher speeds for departure and landing. Pilots are trained to address these situations and safe ups may occur.
