Media hype again, more of an precautionary diversion than an emergency landing.

Not the most cost effective load though.

Only 90 on a 777 does not sound good but the Houston flight would probably be quietest in econ.

BA reporting traffic down by 4.8% c/w Sept. last year.
Premium carryings suffered worse, down by 8.6% while they saw a 4.1% fall in economy.

Maybe Oct figures are going to be even worse for BA.
