A British Airways Boeing 747 in Spain has caught fire, according to images from social media. The aircraft appears to be G-CIVD, one of the 747s currently located in Spain following the type’s retirement from the British Airways fleet.
While the exact time of the fire is unknown at the moment, we can see that the Castellón Airport’s Twitter feed reported the fire contained as early as 12:42 UTC.
The incident report goes on to say that a passenger reported the inflight entertainment system failed shortly after departure. Soon after, lighting in the cabin and lavatories failed as well. Issues got worse as power was then lost in the galley, with passenger overhead signs as the only lights remaining.
