EasyJet plane makes emergency landing in Faro

Photo by sapo 24 -EASYJET PLANE MAKES EMERGENCY LANDING IN FAROYesterday evening, an EasyJet flight from Faro to Glasgow made an emergency landing shortly after taking off, on suspicion of a fire in one of the engines.

A source from the District Relief Operations Command (CDOS) of Faro says that the EasyJet flight declared an emergency at around 21:43 Monday evening, and made a return to Faro Airport, landing safely around 22:00.

“The intervention plan for Faro International Airport was activated, at red alert level, and 34 vehicles with 80 operational were dispatched to the site. The aircraft landed safely, the checks were carried out and it returned to the hangar for further checks”, explained the CDOS of Faro.

According to Civil Protection sources and specialised aviation websites, after take-off the crew of the 190 passenger flight bound for Glasgow, Scotland, was alerted to a fire in one of the plane's engines.

The engine was turned off and an emergency was declared from the aircraft. After landing, firefighters inspected the aircraft, which had no signs of fire.

Airbus A320 flight data shows that the aircraft circled the Algarve region for just a few minutes before returning safely to Faro Airport.
