Fear in the air: Plane departing from London to Tirana suffers a malfunction,

A British Airways plane departing from London to Tirana this morning suffered a mid-air malfunction after about an hour of flight and was forced to turn back. Dozens of Albanians and foreign citizens on board experienced minutes of terror.

Staff informed passengers that the plane had suffered a fault and had to return to its departure base, Heathrow Airport, in London.

One of the many passengers on the plane was pastor Paulin Vilajeti, who says that fortunately, despite arriving late in Tirana, everything went well and he landed safely.

"After an hour of flying with British Airways, from London to Tirana, the plane suffered a malfunction in the air and we were forced to return to Heathrow. Thanks to the Lord Jesus, everything ended in the best possible way. We landed safely on the ground!

Sometimes, the most beautiful gift of life is not reaching a destination... It's simply the grace of being back on the ground.

"Today I did not arrive in Tirana on time, but I arrived closer to heaven. I realized once again that our lives are completely in His hands," writes pastor Paulin Vilajeti, among other things.
