A NUMBER
of flights to and from Heathrow Airport have been delayed and cancelled because
a Boeing 747 aircraft is stuck in mud off the northern runway.
The
British Airways jet, which was returning from Boston, came off the runway when
it landed at 7.30pm last night. Efforts to move the aircraft overnight were
thwarted by bad weather.
The southern
runway is still in operation.
A BA
spokeswoman said it was not clear why the aircraft had left the runway but an
investigation will take place. No one was hurt in the incident.
