A British Airways flight en-route from London in the United Kingdom to Tampa, Florida in the United States was this afternoon diverted to L.F. Wade International after the aircraft, a Boeing 777, developed a mechanical problem.

The plane with 241 people on board landed safely at around 3:30 pm without incident.

In anticipation of the flight landing, access roads to the airport were blocked for a short time, but have since been re-opened.
