Richard Burden – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Transport

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Richard Burden on 2016-02-19.

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what reports he has received of an emergency landing in Abuja by British Airways flight BA59 from Heathrow to Cape Town on 29 January 2016.

Mr Robert Goodwill

I believe the emergency landing in question actually took place on 25 January. In accordance with EU Regulation 376/2014, safety-related events which endanger or which, if not corrected or addressed, could endanger an aircraft, its occupants or any other person have to be reported to the Civil Aviation Authority. Consequently the CAA has received a report, and will be reviewing the contents in accordance with the requirements of the Regulation.
