A WOW air jet on its way to London early this morning turned back to Reykjavik after suffering a minor mechanical failure.

Fifty minutes into the flight to the British capital, the decision was taken to return to the departure airport of Reykjavik (KEF), where the jet is now awaiting a spare part. The flight is expected to depart again this afternoon.

Passengers on the flight have been given a new departure time and food and drink in accordance with rules on delayed flights.
