An Air India flight bound for Delhi returned to London's Heathrow Airport on Sunday, just as it was preparing for takeoff.
The disruption occurred because a passenger with a boarding pass failed to board. The flight initially faced a 45-minute delay before taxiing.
Upon realizing the error, the aircraft returned to the gate so security protocols could be enacted, including offloading the passenger's luggage.
