Jet that caught fire at McCarran apparently not leaving Las
Vegas
A British Airways passenger jet is parked on the runway after an onboard
fire broken out at McCarran International Airport on Tuesday, Sept. 8, 2015. The
Boeing 777-200 was headed to Gatwick Airport in London on flight
2276.
The British Airways Boeing 777-200ER jet that caught fire during an aborted takeoff from McCarran International Airport earlier this month seems destined to stay in Las Vegas for awhile.
Now parked near McCarran's air cargo facility east of Terminal 3, the jet, sources say, is no longer airworthy. The airline is being charged $375 a day for parking.
British Airways, insurer American International Group, Boeing and the National Transportation Safety Board haven't confirmed that the airliner suffered a "hull loss" - a term for an aircraft that is too uneconomical to repair - and officials haven't determined yet how they would get the 304,000-pound jet off airport grounds if it can't fly.
