The Airbus A320-200 with registration G-EUUY operated by British Airways had a longer layover in Innsbruck than planned. The machine came from London Heathrow on January 8, 2023 as BA690, but the return flight could not be started due to a technical defect.

At first everything looked like a routine flight, because the passengers of flight BA691 have already taken their seats and the preparations for departure went smoothly. But something was different, because even after 1,5 hours, the Airbus A320 has still not moved a millimeter from its parking position. At around 21:10 p.m., the bad news came that the flight could not be flown due to technical problems. Passengers had to disembark and wait for more information from British Airways. The operator first had to fly in technicians from the UK.

And that took time, because G-EUUY only left Innsbruck Airport on January 11, 2023. The cause of the AOG is said to have been engine problems. The affected passengers were initially accommodated in a hotel and then taken by bus to Munich Airport the following day, from where they could start their journey to London Heathrow.

The stranded Airbus A320 was transferred to London Heathrow on January 11, 2023 under flight number BA9275. It was a ferry flight with no passengers on board.
