A British Airways flight from East London to Johannesburg, with 111 passengers on board, had to make an emergency landing at the Eastern Cape airport due to a faulty landing gear. | MaliDayimani

British Airways spokesperson Stephen Forbes said the landing gear of flight BA6252 failed to retract.

"On the aircraft's return to the airport, the British Airways manager on duty at King Phalo Airport and her team met the 111 passengers who were onboard. Also aboard the flight was Eastern Cape Premier Oscar Mabuyane, who was seated in the first-class section."It was a nervous moment to be in that situation, knowing when you are up there, everything is possible, coming down unceremoniously," said Mabuyane.
