LONDON (Alliance News) - A British Airways flight was struck by a suspected drone as it was arriving at London's Heathrow Airport from Geneva on Sunday, police said.
The Airbus A320 with 137 people on board landed safely and, following an inspection, engineers cleared it for the next flight.
"An object, believed to be a drone, had struck the front of the aircraft," a Scotland Yard spokeswoman said, adding that a police investigation was underway but that no one had been arrested.
British Airways is owned by FTSE 100-listed International Consolidated Airlines Group SA.
