British Airways Flight 158 to London Heathrow was temporarily stuck in Bermuda yesterday evening after an issue with one of the aircraft’s engines prevented it from departing.

The aircraft, a 28 year old Boeing 777-200 registered G-VIIE, has a long history of mechanical problems in Bermuda. In 2024, the aircraft experienced an issue with an engine generator two days in a row, the same engine which experienced issues last night. In April of this year, the return flight to London was cancelled due to another mechanical problem on the same plane.

British Airways opted to send the inbound flight one hour early due to the approaching Hurricane Humberto. Once on the ground, the technical problem, reportedly related to the aircraft’s autothrottle system, was discovered and the flight was held for over three hours.

When the flight eventually departed at 11:05pm, wind gusts were beginning to exceed 30 knots (35mph).

The flight arrived safely at London Heathrow airport at 9:10am local time with a total delay of 2 hours and 25 minutes.

British Airways will not be sending a service to Bermuda on Wednesday due to the closure of L. F. Wade International Airport following the passing of Hurricane Humberto.

How many planes can fit in Bermuda at one time?

In the summer of 2024, Bermuda’s airport terminal experienced multiple long delays in getting aircraft to the gate after landing.

In 2025, Bermuda Skyport Corporation implemented a new strategy to deal with these delays.

If you could make an improvement to the airport, what would you do?

Two Lockheed WP-3D Orion aircraft operated by NOAA have arrived in Bermuda to track Category 3 hurricane Gabrielle.

The aircraft, fondly referred to as Kermit and Ms. Piggy, will complete a number of passes through the eye of the hurricane to collect data on wind speeds, pressures and more.

Multiple previous hurricanes which have impacted the island have been tracked by the specially retrofitted aircraft, including Hurricane Ernesto in 2024.

Both aircraft arrived from San Juan in Puerto Rico yesterday evening and are expected to remain on the island until the hurricane has safely passed.

At 50 years old, the planes are nearing retirement and are due to be replaced by two Lockheed C-130J Super Hercules in 2030.
