Air Malta flight returns to London after 'minor fault'

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.
