london - A crew member of British Airways mistakenly deployed the emergency slide, causing significant delays and potential financial losses for the airline.

The precise cause of the incident remains unclear. The identity of the crew member is also unknown. An anonymous source told The Sun, "The crew member did not think properly and made a very silly mistake by deploying the emergency slide. It's hard to believe." The blunder proved to have significant consequences. "It is costing British Airways around £100,000 (approximately €118,000)," the source added. The passengers on the London to Brussels flight had to wait for three hours before being transported to Belgium on another aircraft.

The anonymous source did not elaborate on how they arrived at this figure, but it is likely that British Airways will incur substantial costs following the incident. The emergency slide is said to have suffered damage and will need to be replaced or repaired. Additionally, the airline may have to spend money on a full inspection of the aircraft before it can fly again. Moreover, the affected passengers can also expect compensation.

"We have apologized to the customers for the delay," said a British Airways spokesperson. "We worked hard to arrange a replacement aircraft so they could continue their journey."

This is not the first time a British Airways aviation worker has accidentally deployed the emergency slide of an aircraft. Last year, a pilot on a flight from London to Bucharest made the exact same mistake, according to The Sun.
