BA flight emergency landing in France ??

[Palyvestre]

Anyone heard that ??

A BA or BA Connect flight from London to Madrid made an emergency landing somewhere in France last night..

Any information ??

Colleague was on a flight back from Geneva in January. Nasty noise somewhere around top of climb (maybe a bit further along) followed by sudden diversion to CDG.

It happens!

Or am I just an old cynic?

I don't know.. but sure you need glasses..:8

I don't care about a january incident over Switzerland for some obvious reason, I want just know if there was an BA emergency landing last night somewhere in France..

Nothing in or out of MAD or BCN diverted anywhere last night, the 8754 to LCY was canx ex MAD due tech, but your source is incorrect. :=

Source is AFP..:confused:

L'avion, qui volait au dessus d'Orléans, a subi une avarie de moteur qui a engendré de la fumée dans le cockpit et la cabine passagers. Les 36 passagers sont repartis sains et saufs avec un nouvel avion à 18 heures. "

I'm not surprised that is erroneous.

Thanks
