British Airways and TAP Air Portugal flights altered their routes mid-flight, returning to London and Lisbon respectively. This incident not only frustrated passengers but also imposed logistical challenges for airlines, emphasizing the complex nature of emergency reroutes in the aviation industry and their financial implications.
