Appears to be a technical fault, possibly engine failure. D-ABQB, Bombardier Dash 8 Q400, with 50 passengers onboard.

Landed safely in Nuremberg after shutting down an engine en route Saarbrucken to Berlin. Overall not such a great day for Air Berlin as allegedly the Belair swiss operation is grounded by what is being reported as a sick out following communication that future operation is in serious doubt.
