A BRITISH Airways plane headed for Las Vegas has returned to Gatwick due to a hydraulic fault.
Two hours into its flight, the Boeing 777 reported technical issues. It then circled above the Atlantic and made a U-turn back to the airport.
It touched down at Gatwick 40 minutes ago.
This is the second emergency landing at Gatwick today (Thursday) after an easyJet airbus had to cut shortits flight to Naples when smoke was detected in the cockpit.
