A British Airways jet was forced to make an emergency landing at Heathrow after both pilots suddenly felt light-headed – and had to be fitted with oxygen masks to guide the plane to the ground.

The Captain and first officer both reported feeling unwell as the aircraft, which had taken off from Heathrow, was climbing at 20,000 feet.

Passengers heard a "panicked" captain call for a senior member of the cabin crew to come to their aid.

They were then supplied with oxygen masks as they continued the flight and requested an emergency return to Heathrow.

The plane, an Airbus A321, landed safely but when paramedics arrived the pilots both said they had felt as though they were about to pass out.

The incident, which is now being investigated by the Air Accident Investigation Branch, was also reported by a passenger on the flight on a professional pilots website.
