129 passengers on the BA2775 flight were left on the tarmac for more than an hour and Jersey Airport opened late to accommodate the aircraft, which eventually touched down at 23:48.
Disruption in Jersey continued this morning, with scores of BA flights cancelled.

“Affected passengers have been contacted by the airline and should not come to the airport but instead liaise directly with the airline for alternative travel options,” a spokesperson for Jersey Airport said.
They added: “All other services to/from Jersey Airport are operating as scheduled today so passengers should continue to check-in as planned allowing plenty of time for their journey as it is an expected busy few days with the end of the half-term holidays.”
