Kenya Airways Flight Makes an Emergency Landing at London’s Heathrow Airport

A Kenya Airways (KQ) flight was on Wednesday forced to turn back to Heathrow Airport in London, the United Kingdom after an ‘incident’, according to reports.

MyLondon reported that the flight to Nairobi left Heathrow at around 10.15 a.m UK time.

But about ten minutes into its journey, the aircraft appeared to circle the area over South East London for about half an hour before flying towards the Channel and continued to circle the air for another 20 minutes.

It then turned around to Heathrow Airport and made an emergency landing at 11.48 am.

A video taken at the scene by a witness shows the flight landing at Heathrow.

The flight was due to land in Nairobi later on Wednesday at 6.45 p.m UK time, the news website reported.
