A British Airways flight bound for London experienced a rare aviation incident after reportedly losing a wheel during take-off, raising safety concerns among passengers and aviation observers.
The incident occurred shortly after departure, prompting immediate checks and coordination by aviation authorities. Despite the unexpected malfunction, the aircraft continued its journey safely, with no injuries reported among passengers or crew.
British Airways confirmed awareness of the incident and stated that safety protocols were followed in line with international aviation standards. Engineers and relevant authorities were said to be investigating the cause of the wheel loss, while the aircraft was subjected to thorough inspections upon landing.
