An Air Malta flight from London to Malta had to return to London on Tuesday because of 'a minor technical issue' Air Malta said.
KM101 returned to Heathrow shortly after take-off. This, Air Malta said, was a necessary precaution.
The flight later departed London Heathrow at 4.10pm (local time) and will arrive in Malta at 7.20pm.
Air Malta apologised for the inconvenience.
