British Airways flight BA207, an A380 en route from London Heathrow to Miami International Airport, was held over the Atlantic Ocean yesterday. The flight was scheduled to depart at 10:25 AM BST, but it has been delayed due to bad weather in Miami. The aircraft was flying at an altitude of 9,750 meters and was traveling at a speed of 915 kilometers per hour.
The flight was originally scheduled to arrive in Miami at 2:35 PM EDT, but the delay was expected to push the arrival time back to around 3:30 PM EDT. Passengers on the flight were updated on the situation via the airline's website and mobile app.
The A380 is the world's largest passenger aircraft, and it is capable of carrying up to 853 passengers. British Airways is one of the few airlines that still operate the A380, and it uses the aircraft on several long-haul routes, including from London to Miami.
The flight resumed its journey and arrived in Miami at 3:30 PM EDT. Passengers are being thanked for their patience and understanding.
