- Welcome to London Planespotting, the channel where we capture the most amazing moments of aviation in the UK’s capital city.
In this video, we witnessed a rare and embarrassing incident involving a brand new Airbus A220 (EI-HLA) of ITA Airways, the Italian flag carrier. The A220 was delivered to the airline just four days ago and it was the second day of operations out of London City Airport, a challenging airport with a short runway and steep approach.
However, things did not go as planned for the crew of the A220, as they made a wrong turn while taxiing to the runway, putting them on a taxiway they were not allowed to go on. This caused a delay for the flight and the airport, as the A220 had to be towed back to the apron. We filmed this event from a nearby spot, where we could see the whole situation unfold. Watch the video to see how the A220 got stuck and how it was rescued by the airport staff.
Should point out really felt for the crew as it must have been an embarrassing moment. London City ops did amazing to resolve the issue in a quick manner.

I'll bet that the ITA pilot is delighted that this proud moment was preserved for posterity!
I sympathize and empathize greatly, so easy to make a wrong turn on the ground, no harm done though, just a little embarrassing
I actually think congrats on avoiding damage. If they'd hit with the wing, THEN that would be something of a different matter altogether...
I have made 3 flights now on the A220 and am really impressed by the aircraft inside and out. It is quite beautiful and popular with its crews
C series
@@alangaming2003 indeed a great aircraft indeed the A220
@@alangaming2003I flew on it once, and am flying it again in a couple months. Really quiet and really nice cabin (Air Canada)
Cool catch, well done filming! Would you be okay with me featuring this in my series Weekly Dose of Aviation? Of course you will be credited both in the video and in the description. Thanks!
Hi, yes no problem.
This is such a beautiful aircraft, love the ITA livery. We all make mistakes, no damage was done!
Recently got to fly on an A220- fantastic plane! Those P&W geared turbofans are smooth, quiet, and powerful! Definitely one of my favorite airframes to fly!
Couldn't agree more!
And, as a bonus, are also very unreliable
@@pjotrtje0NL Only engines affected are used in manufacturing between Q4 2015 and and Q3 2021 that could cause cracking in the stage 1 and stage 2 disks in the high pressure turbine.
It's a Brilliant aircraft.
yes shame not Rolls Royce engines
I love ITA airways, fantastic service on board , I flew from Rome to New York months ago
Nice! They _did_ see you, at 3:50 the FO waved to you 😊
A220 Canadian designed and produced by Bombardier(origin designer) and now sold to Airbus. This one left Montreal (Bombardier) CYMX airport
WOW thanks so much for catching this rare event mate! Never seen something like this ever at LCY, the crew onboard the ITA were lucky they were stopped by ATC before they might of damaged the brand new wing! Hope something like this never happens again 🤞
Glad you enjoyed it
"might *of*" - sheesh.
@@steveharleyfan it bothers me when people you *then* instead *than*
Stunning aircraft in a lovely livery ❤
What a gorgeous plane.
This reminds me of Heathrow back in the day when a new entry near the threshold of 27R was first opened. As we taxied out we noticed a lot of activity….coaches, marshallers etc… around 2 aircraft near this new threshold. An Airways 757 on the new entry , had a neat “tick” shaped gash in its rudder made by (possibly) an A330 wing tip as it taxied by !!! I recall the new entry was permanently closed for A/C after that.
Yeah, most of Heathrow was built to allow B707s, VC10s and DC-8s to taxi past each other on parallel taxiways without clipping each other. Then some smarty-pants built the Jumbo and the taxiways became a jigsaw puzzle of "if you're a narrow body, yes you can" versus "if you're a wide-body, no you can't". What a zoo that was. When they got rid of the cross-ways runway (23L, I believe) that eased things a bit but LHR Ground Control's job was never the same after the B747....
Unique moment! May I feature this taxiing mishap in one of my next episodes? Of course with a link back to your original video. All the best to you!
Yes of course, please credit the channel :)
So fun to see 3 Minutes of Aviation on here too! I shall look forward to seeing this on one of your videos.
Beautiful aircraft, and touchdown couldn't have been better especially given the conditions.
Very interesting incident and nice commentary from you 😊. I’m glad that this new aircraft hasn’t been damaged.
Excellent that you were there to catch this incident. Nicely done.
Fantastic Lewis thank you. Thank you also for the diagrams and the very clear explanation. Interesting and entertaining stuff !!!
Very welcome
Not a plane spotter, just came up on my feed. But I really loved watching this, it was fascinating to watch and she really is a beautiful plane , loved her lines as she flew into the cloudy sky.
Had a similar problem myself with an articulated truck. Though it was getting dark there was NO exit sign and I took the road around the outside of the buildings instead of the narrow road between them. Ended up having to creep over railway lines in a siding and climup theloadingramp. Good job there wasn't a train in. It was embarrassing but no harm done.
Such a beautiful aircraft.Great video
Wow. The front end look of a Caravelle and the howl of a Vulcan. Lovely.
Indeed! It has Caravelle front!🫶
Did you know the Caravelle front cockpit, was licensed from the Comet……..just saying…
@@charliechristmas5147 Comet-Caravelle.. I was gonna say the same thing!
@@effyleven great minds and all that….cheers
Important catch! Good job brother 👏
Elegant looking aircraft, especially in that livery!
As you so rightly said, a Wonderful bit of kit the 220!! Air France, Swiss, and even Air Baltic happily working with them, I’ll be surprised if British Airways ever go for any, damn shame, but would look fantastic in BA livery
Not to mention Delta with a whopping 61 units
C series
Sadly I can see Cityflyer ordering the EMB 190 E2 and 195 E2.
As does Air Canada with 33 units of the CS300 aka A220-300 and another 27 on order .. Canadian technology at it's best!
I need to be that one guy who at least tries to sympathize with the pilots here. It’s true they made an embarassing mistake, but these things do happen on a daily basis in this industry and any pilot can make such an error. Especially when not proficient at all on a new airport and with very few flight hours on a new aircraft, taxi mishaps are likely to happen. I feel like people are judging these guys a bit too much recently.
Hey @CyberHornet totally agree, watching them on the day my heart really felt for them. It was an honest mistake for the crew, I’m sure they won’t do that again.
It literally almost never happens. The last time, years ago, was a BA 747 that hit a building. The taxi charts are quite easy to read and understand, even for a PPL like me. Look up EGLC AD 2.20, 2 Ground movement, item J.
@@pjotrtje0NLif you were on the job you’d know very well that taxi mishaps are very frequent instead, had seen several myself in my career so far. And of course I’m not referring to LCY only but I mean it in a worldwide context.
Flown over the years Swiss bae146 into LCY out on an B.A. Embraer and into LHR on an AirBaltic A220 (on secondment to Swiss) The A220 is a lovely aircraft.Those days are over,so its back to economy to Sydney and that is aways A380.
@CyberHornet I totally agree with you. This was an honest mistake, and the ATC did a fantastic job working with them. I feel that if you don't visit that airport very often, taxi mishaps are going to happen. Nobody is PERFECT but you do learn what to do next time so it WILL NOT happen again. The building was not damaged and the pilots took off in GRACE. 😊
Awesome Video Awesome Airbus A220 i love hearing the sound of those engines.🙂
C series
The A220 was designed by Bombardier in Canada and the design was sold to Air Bus.
Good catch, good filming! Would you mind me featuring this in my daily Aviation series? Of course you will be credited both in the video and in the description. Thank!
I heard the reason for this incident is pilots distracted by camera man, filming the aircraft lol, great video and a rare capture lewis 👍👍
Don’t say that they will be after me 😉
Such a beautiful livery! Love it also on the A350 that make it to the West Coast of the US. Cheers!
Many thanks. Good job it didn't over shoot in to the Dock as you would have missed it.
So beautiful to see. I miss the Alitalia Embraers of course but times change…
That 18 second take off at full chaff was great to see, must be a hair-raiser for the passengers! Cheers chaps.
It’s a great take off out of City! Especially off 27 over the docks!
Nice one. ✈️😍
We're all human. No damage, no harm. Hopefully no-one gets in bother over this.
That engine sound is amazing very unique
I think its a stupid place to have a baggage hall, it should out of the way and not amongst the aircraft stand. LCY pull your finger out and get it sorted.
Lovely looking plane! Pretty understandable to make such a mistake especially given that it was only the airline's second day of operations there.
Nice video! If the aircraft was flying to Italy they would have been able to make up for the delay.
Oops, oh well, we all have problems getting out of car parks….. sometimes 😎. Yes, a good looking aircraft, I can’t get used to anything Italian being blue though , after Ferraris, Spaghetti, Chianti …red is the colour of (Italian) enjoyment after all.
Made in belfast wing nearly clipped 😲. Graet video 👍✈️
I believe it was built in Canada it’s registered to a lease company in Ireland hence the EI reg 👍
The wings are made in Belfast & some of the centre fuselages. Then sent to Montreal or mobile in Alabama to be assembled . Factory was owned by Bombardier but sold to spirit aerosystems 3 years ago. I work in the wing production unit
right, so the 'plane' isn't built in Belfast then@@richardiangraham5743
love spotting @ LCY, although I have not been for a number of years due to living in Gloucestershire. When is the best time of day to visit these days?
Awesome shot! Can I feature it? Credited on screen and with a link back!
Wooly noises! 😂 Ive never heard that before, l love it
“Wookie”?
Bel video... complimenti.😉👍🇮🇹
Amzing Catch Bro! can i use it as part of my video for a series? you will be credited in the video and description ❤
I'm flying on an A-220 this coming Monday from MSY to TUL!
Registered in / (financed in Ireland). I do hope the Italian airline industry does not fail again😟.
It's because registering here in Italy there's more taxes, like everything
Wow that's so unusual; an aircraft registered in Ireland. What will they think of next?
Back in the '80s, I was up on the viewing deck at Gatwick when a Korean 747 took an incorrect turn and ended up in what was then the Pier 1 cul-de-sac adjacent to the South Terminal where all the Dash-8s and 146s used to park. It was a real problem because there wasn't quite enough room to get a big enough tug past it to hitch up and push it back on to the proper taxyway. The ground staff had to move all sorts of baggage carts and tractors etc. out of the way to finally get the big Douglas tug past the 747.
Love the ITA in the New A220 Lewis buddy. Never seen one before. The only incident heard is hold position between ATC and the plane. Thanks so much for that. See you soon. ❤
C series
Very nice video hello 🙋🏻♀️💯☕💯👍 7:22
The A220 is the best looking civilian airliner in production now, sleek lines and everything in perfect proportion, far more aesthetically pleasing than the 787 or A350
I've only flown Baltic Air A220, the seats were like ironing boards, a very uncomfortable passenger experience.
I know that's the airline rather than the aircraft's fault, but it really puts me off of flying on that model.
I live towards the eastern end of the LCY runway on the southside of the river....which is the start of the takeoff roll for most flights. You can barely hear these unlike the Embraer BA/Lufthansa/KLM use. Although they do a make a weird, almost whale song like, sound at certain power settings! Lovely colour scheme too.
nice video
Just been running and saw it this eve.
I'm eagerly awaiting the arrival of the new Qantas A220's here in Australia. I believe the first one is ready for delivery and the livery looks great. They will be replacing the aging 717 fleet.
Let me correct you there C series
@@alangaming2003 C series ?????.please explain your correction.
@@robertgarland9342 He's still obsessed with the fact that the A220 started life as the Bombardier C-series before Boeing started playing dirty pool and the whole project was sold to Airbus for a dollar.
What a beautiful lady, isn't she ❤?
Well resolved.
Ouch that landing
I am not surprised.......
Would there have been any follow up i.e. investigation / report into this? Or not, because there was no damage or injury to anyone?
i really like the rocket takeoff
Conversation without coffee with the fleet chief pilot, unless of course it was the chief pilot.
Just to think, that's where the closing sniper section of Full Metal Jacket was filmed.
Miss riding on a plane ,I’ve travelled 6times in a year before
Yesterday it was parked at stand 10.
When it left for take off it did not use the runway. It drove past all stands as the embraers do including that spot where it got stuck.
Is that something new?
Don’t feel for the crew, this is very very poor airmanship. They haven’t read and taken in their taxi briefings, that’s both pilots, and on top of that, they have mistaken the taxi clearance, probably read it back correctly, but just failed to execute. Again this is both pilots and that could easily have resulted in wing damage and grounding of the aircraft. I’m speechless at how bad this is.
The landing at CTY is notoriously rough
Little mistake for this beautiful aircraft..
BTW, as of last year, the A220 was still losing money. It is technically not an Airbus aircraft, but rather an Airbus Canada LP aircraft, and Airbus Canada LP is 75% owned by Airbus and 25% owned by the Québec government who helped save the programme by investing equity in it. Hopefully the 2023 results will show production has increased to make it profitable. (the goal of QC government is to make value of programme more than double in order to get back the moeny it invested by selling shares to Airbus (who would then own 100%). To save programme, the QC government arranged for CSALP (now Airbus Canada LP) to double number of shares and donated 50% to Airbus for free. This effectively halves the value of the few billiosn Québec had invested in it. Airbus and Québec then bought the shares that bankrupted Bombardier still had in CSALP as it was unable to invest to complete the programme and that bought onwership to 75/25. Prior to Airbus being donated 50% of project. Québec owned 40% of it. So the goal is to make the 25% they now have worth as much as the 40% they invested in.
No wonder Bombardier is taking over
Originally a Bombardier Canada CSeries 100 aircraft, re-branded by Airbus.
Bombardier Commercial Aviation no longer exists. Original DeHavilland products as well as Canadair water bombers sold to what is now DeHavilland Canada (who restarted production of Twin Otter, and inherited the Dash-8 but without a hangar to build them).
CRJ product line finished production and the IP and maintenance contracts sold to Mitsubishi Heavy Industries.
The C-Series was spun off into separate company called CSALP (C-Series Aircraft Limited Partrnership) with the Québec Government injecting a few billions and gettng 40% stake in company. CSALP then doubled number of shares and donated 50% to Airbus (reducing BBD's ownership from 60 to 30% and Québec from 40 to 20%) Then Bombardier sold its 30% stake to Airbus and Québec resuting in Airbus owning 75% and Québec owning 25%. But Airbus only paid for 25% of project, and CSALP, when created, didn't inherit all the debts for the development of aircraft which remain at Bombardier and every liquidation sale proceeds went directly to creditors.
Bombardier Transportation no longer exists. (sold to Alstom)
Bombardier Recreational Products spun off into totally separate company in early 2000s as a means to recapitalise Bombardier Commercial aviation.
Bombardier Aerostructures no longer exists. (sold to Spirit).
Bombardier Business Jets is the only part that remains, mostly because nobody wanted to buy it during Bombardier's liquidation.
@@alangaming2003
Well without Airbus there would be no A220, so to say it isn't an Airbus aircraft is disingenuous and rather arrogant.
Financially, it was the Québec government that saved the C-Series since Airbus got half of the project for free without investing money. The first tranche of actual money it invested did not recapitalize CSALP, but it rather purchased Bombardier's shares in CSALP. (that is when Airbus went from 50% ownership to 75%). Airbus did inject capital to build the Alabama plant, and then, along with QUébec, injected to industrlalize production to get production rates up to make prject profitable. (at that point, C-Series were produced as pilot project tooling). Forgeting that plant in Alabama. the amount of new money that Airbus injected could have easily been handled by Québec had there been a political will to do so.
However, opposition parties at federal level were anti Québec and called for Bombardier to be allowed to go bankrupt instead of getting federal help. And that really hurt Bombardier's image because airlines lacked confidence Bombardier would survive. This is where gifting project to Airbus really helped.
Airbus did not develop the aircraft. But definitely helped with its image and marketing and going forwards it is rightfully an Airbus product. But it would still have been possible to save Bombardier if it had been willing to kill its Global 7500 project that sucked up as much money as C-Series. Bombardier was developping 3 planes at same time (Lear 85 and Gobal 7500 as business jets) and the business jets are what killed the company. BBD cancelled the Lear 85 too late and didn't cancel the 7500, and ironically the Global 7500 survived along with the old Challenger) as the sole remaining products under the Bombardier trademark as everything else was liquidated. @@abdul-hadidadkhah1459
Aww, the FO waved at you at 3:50.
how are you listyening to atc?
I took a wrong turning once on spaghetti junction (in my car) in the late sixties, i backed up a few yards where i maybe shouldn’t have, i dont think any one noticed though fortunately😊.
Looks like a baby b787 but is neither a Boeing nor an Airbus.
“ Beef or Chicken ? “ ……. “ Dammit ! “
that was one hell of a landing 💀💀💀
Bit of a strange place to put that building tbh, especially as A220 and E2s are the future of LCY just hope LCY gets back to pre-pandemic status soon.
Not just the building. Even if it wasn’t there the taxiway west of delta is too narrow
@@RCRVids Just make it bigger then when building not there, as I’m sure seen Swiss A220 west of it.
C series
@@jamesbartlett5640im pretty sure it the c series
@@alangaming2003 It was the C-series till Airbus got it and now it’s A220-100 and A220-300, with the 100 LCY certified.
I remember the battle when this disgusting airport was opened. "We will never fly jets from this airport" they said.
I'd love to listen to the announcement the Capt did to the passengers to explain the situation...
Ladia and Gentlemena we waita here for taxiwaya to be widened.
Ladies and Gentlement, a building suddently popped up in the way and we need to go backwards to avoid it.
@@jfmezei 😅😅😅
Curious of ATC gave ITA instructions on what route to take to get to end of runway and then realized their mistake. But rewinding your video, the plane came to a stop with the left engine well past the start of building and I have to wonder if the wings did pass without touching wall, but with such low clearance that ATC told plane to stop. If only you were taller, we might see if the nosewheel was right on the taxiing line. The image seems to point to nose wheekl being right next to grass and IF that is the case, it means pilots already knew this was a dubious passage. But if they were on the taxiing line, I wonder why thry couldn't have just done a 90° in-situ turn to head for runway right away instead of needing a pashback. Wingtips must have been too close.
Just wondering if an A220 is capable of doing a powerback. Most narrow body jets can but you might get FOD damage doing it.
Bet they're billed big!
There's no way I'd work that close to those engines
loL@@justcurious1157
The engine start up sounds like a horror film noise. Like some sort of Whale animal thing.
Great catch !
Lots of paperwork for ITA pilots
Great aircraft but is it too big for the airport
Just to correct you. ITA only has one A220-100. As you said the delivery was rushed. They did not get a chance to learn the LCY configuration. The first flight did not even have a water salute. And why has not LCY sorted the taxying issues? These things should not be happening and taxying on the runway is not safe, we never know. Hope all parties learn from this. Scarry.. The blue colour is stunning though.
Using the runway is standard procedure here at LCY due to width restrictions with that building it only affects the A220 and E2 as they have a wider wingspan. Traffic control do an amazing job ensuring the timings are stop on to allow such a manoeuvre.
You say it's not safe but they did runway backtracks for years and years entirely safely. Why isn't it safe now?
You mean the CS100
@@Gordanovich02 well accident may happen as we know. I have seen many go rounds for that same reason. Planes taking their precious times taxying... Time for LCY to sort this out. Can't they just cement a lil bit of that grass? Or is it too much asking?
"Opps, where the hell is reverse on this thing"
And then the moment of oh shit I forgot to close the boot lol
Love Alitalia livery . Is not called Alitalia now and just ITA? Does anyone know why they EI- registrations ? Irish?
Yes, exactly, Alitalia before, and Ita now, had registrated its aircraft in Ireland.
Aircraft are leased via an Irish aircraft leasing company, thus the Irish registration
Ah right guess must be for tax reasons lol
And as a pilot , i'd love to come to your workplace , film a cock up and have it on the youtube instaweb instantly 😅
bravo mon frère. Yes, Bombardier was killed by the Canadian government…
One small mistake like this with no airplane or airport or equipment damage and you’re all over the internet like this. Let that be a lesson to the airline pilots out there….
No flare?
Never heard of that aircraft , its very small with a really short takeoff .
The smaller of the A220's with 125 seats, originally designed and built by Bombardier Canada as the CSeries CS100.
Poor things. So embarassing. but at least they stopped before hitting the building. love love LOVE that wookie sound
"Poor things" ? It's always surprising to see how Brits overlook are are disrespectful to people !
I know that air traffic protocol for these sort of circumstances is to simply wait, and then ATC will assist you in getting out of the pickle.
The crew are still filling out the paper work!
interesting registration number I’m assuming it belongs to a lessor in Ireland.
Probably a management pilot 😅
