A plane that has registered an engine problem has been forced to make an emergency landing at Athens airport.
It is learned that flight 1753 from Athens to Munich returned to Athens airport, while the plane was evacuated through the emergency exit.
Passengers were thrown into panic and fear after the alarm. The company's official announcement says that the crew of the Airbus A321 received a warning message about a defect. Following safety protocols, the pilots declared an emergency to ensure priority for an immediate landing.
The plane, which was carrying 177 passengers and 7 crew members, landed normally.
Due to a strong wind in the rear of the passenger cabin, the crew deemed it necessary to immediately disembark the passengers.
During the evacuation process, two passengers were slightly injured and transported to the hospital for first aid. The aircraft is being examined by technical experts to determine the cause of the problem.
