V-Flyer

was taxiing out on a BA hop from LHR to MAN this morning when the captain annouced that a A380 on the northerly runway had taken a wrong turn while taxiing & got stuck, causing the runway to shut down whilst it was recovered :0

This meant the Southerly runway was being used for take off & landing. Luckily we were close to the front of the queue but there was a sizeable stack growing behind us.

Be interesting to know if the airline that caused this will be fined? The air crew must have been red faced

Was Qantas, pilot followed the wrong vehicle down a wrong category taxyway. Had to be towed off. I believe they will be sent the bill for closure and fined.
