An emergency slide on a Delta Air Lines Boeing 767 was accidentally deployed on top of a catering truck shortly after the aircraft had arrived at London Gatwick Airport on Monday morning.

Last September, another Delta-operated Boeing 767 suffered what is known in the industry as an 'inadvertent slide deployment' shortly after landing at Dublin Airport.

Several months earlier, on June 10, an emergency slide accidentally inflated inside the aircraft of a Delta Boeing 767 as the crew went to arm the doors for departure.

Boeing 767 doors are rather unusual in that they open upwards into the interior of the aircraft. The slide arming mechanism is very close to the door opening handle, which also goes in an upward motion.

Many would consider that to be a typical Boeing design flaw.
