A flight from London Heathrow to New Delhi was forced to land at Berlin Schoenefeld airport due to an electrical fault last month. The British Airways flight was diverted after the pilot became aware of smoke in the cabin due to an electrical fault with a setback monitor.
There were 222 passengers on board the Boeing 777 plane. There was no injury to any passengers according to a spokesman for Berlin Schoenefeld airport Eberhardt Elie. The plane was sent back to London Heathrow Airport for a change of crew.
British Airways apologized for the delay expressing that passenger safety was their first priority and always would be.
