A Ryanair plane that took off from Otopeni’s Henri Coanda Airport on Friday requested to return to the airport urgently due to “technical problems.”
All passengers and crew members of the two planes were safely disembarked and evacuated. The aircraft landed safely, but an emergency device was created at the airport.
“Following the information received from Otopeni Airport (AIHC), regarding the existence of two aircraft with technical problems, which are about to land, ISU B-IF alerted all categories of special vehicles necessary for this type of emergency, in support of the fire brigade belonging to AIHC. The two aircraft landed, the passengers and crew members were disembarked and evacuated safely, without medical charges,” the Bucharest-Ilfov Inspectorate for Emergency Situations (ISUBIF) said.
The Ryanair flight took off at 10.51 from Henri Coanda Airport to Marseille, with 194 passengers on board. Shortly afterwards, the aircraft requested an emergency landing at the same airport. Aviation sources told HotNews that the plane requested this emergency landing due to sensors indicating an engine problem.
Also on Friday morning, a Wizz Air plane with 239 people on board, including crew, which had taken off from Budapest at 08:14 local time, to Abu Dhabi, requested a normal landing at Otopeni. The plane landed at 10:24.
It is not yet known why he requested this landing, but it is assumed that it is also due to technical problems.
