On April 8, 2025, British Airways Flight 252, en route from Nassau, Bahamas to London Heathrow, experienced two unexpected diversions resulting in a significant delay. Roughly four hours into the flight, a medical emergency forced the Boeing 777 to divert to Gander International Airport in Newfoundland, Canada, to offload the ill passenger. Following this delay, the crew neared their legal working hour limits, prompting a second diversion to Keflavik Airport in Reykjavík, Iceland, for a mandatory crew change. The flight ultimately landed in London nearly 11 hours behind schedule, on April 9 at 10:30 p.m. (PC: AFP)
