A British Airways flight left Gatwick at 9 am bound for Faro and, about an hour into the trip, the crew reported a cracked cabin window and activated the emergency transponder, after which air traffic control cleared the aircraft to return to Gatwick for an emergency landing.
No passengers were injured and cabin pressure remained unchanged; the airline prepared a replacement aircraft to depart passengers as soon as possible and moved the damaged aircraft to a depot for technical inspection.
