British Airways plane loses wheel shortly after takeoff from Las Vegas | VIDEO

London: A wheel appeared to fall off a British Airways plane shortly after takeoff from Las Vegas en route to London Heathrow on Monday, 26 January, according to Flightradar24.

The flight tracker shared footage showing the BA aircraft taking off, and shortly afterwards, an object falling to the ground.

Flightradar24 said: "Last night, while departing Las Vegas, British Airways flight BA274 lost one of its main landing gear wheels. The separation of the right, rear wheel from the A350-1000 was captured on our automated live stream at the airport. The flight continued for a safe landing in London."

Officials at London Heathrow Airport confirmed that the tyre was found on airport property following the incident. They added that the wheel caused no damage to airport property and no injuries. The tyre was retrieved from the LAS airfield.

UK knocks EasyJet for 'misleading' baggage info

Britain's advertising regulator said Wednesday that information published by budget airline easyJet about its baggage prices was misleading after a complaint from a consumer group.

The consumer advocacy group Which alerted the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) to information on easyJet's website that said large cabin bags could be brought on board for fees starting from £5.99 ($8.30).

The ASA said the airline responded that the webpage was for information purposes and not part of a marketing campaign, and that the price was available on a range of routes.

However, the ASA ruled against the airline, saying easyJet failed to provide data to back up its claim that the price was widely available.

"Because we had not seen sufficient evidence to demonstrate that large cabin bags were available to book for £5.99 across a range of flight routes and dates, we concluded the 'from' pricing claim had not been substantiated and was misleading," the ASA said in its ruling.
