Ryanair departed from Bologna and diverted to Luxembourg: “Smoke and stink on board”
Ryanair flight FR3938 which left Bologna’s Guglielmo Marconi airport this morning at 10am and headed to Charleroi airport in Belgium was landed in Luxembourg around 11.30am due, as far as we know, to a fire in the kitchen. Firefighters were also on board. The passengers were let off and are currently waiting for a bus that will be made available to them by the low-cost airline to reach Brussels.
“We started hearing a acrid smell and they told us we were going to make an emergency landing. There was no panic, but total silence fell on boarduntil we landed in Luxembourg and the firefighters arrived and put out the fire that came from the kitchens.” This is how a passenger on the flight told ANSA about the misadventure that happened this morning when the plane was landed for an emergency in Luxembourg.”We didn’t really understand what burned, they told us that not even the hostesses understood it initially. You could just see it the smoke and it smelled“, says the passenger, who lives and works in Bologna and was headed to Belgium for a weekend holiday. Despite the problem on board, the passengers on the flight did not lose their calm. “Only when the firefighters arrived did they come to a bit of panic, because we understood that we had taken a risk. At the airport they told us that there were technical problems, but no one explained to us exactly what had happened.”
“This flight from Bologna to Brussels Charleroi (31 May) – the airline writes in an official note, underlining that there was no fire on board – was diverted to Luxembourg due to a smell in the cabin. The plane landed normally, the passengers disembarked and the aircraft is being inspected by technicians. To minimize inconvenience, Ryanair has organized alternative transport to Brussels for passengers who departed in the early afternoon.”
