G-YMMH
G-YMMH took its first flight on September 27, 2000 and was delivered to British Airways on October 14, 2000. The Boeing 777-236ER is configured for a maximum of 219 passengers with 12 seats in first class, 48 more in business class, 32 seats in premium economy and another 127 economy class seats. This is one of 43 Boeing 777-200ER variants in the British Airways main fleet.
G-YMMH had some pilot issues back in 2003. Flying from Montreal, Quebec to London, England on New Year’s Day, the first officer fell ill shortly after reaching cruise altitude. Despite his vomiting, weather was crappy along the eastern seaboard of North America so it was decided to continue the flight across the Atlantic. Despite being ill for most of the flight, the aircraft landed safely and the first officer seemed healthy and rested by the time they parked the airliner.
On a August 28, 2018 flight from London, England to Shanghai, China, this airliner had some engine troubles. Climbing through 33,000 feet, the right side engine failed and was shut down. The flight was diverted to Helsinki, Finland for a safe landing.
It was found that the last low pressure turbine stage disk had blown and the debris was sent through the tail pipe, striking the underside of the wing, fuselage and horizontal stabilizer. G-YMMK was brought in as a replacement to resume the flight.
