Same old, same old
Press around here reports that, for unknown reasons, the pilots of the Iberworld A320 got a fire alert in one engine a few minutes after takeoff off. They turned around and landed w/o further difficulty after declaring an emergency. It was a charter flight leaving early morning from Gran Canaria to Oslo. Took off at 8:05, landed at 8:15
Company sent out already most of the 180 passangers on a rented Air Europa at 13:05, except a handful hysterical ones that decided to stay in the island and two that requested being hospitalized on a panic attack.
Some passangers declare having seen some passangers crying, flames on the affected engine and loud "bang" noises coming from it.
Investigation as to the cause of the engine fire on-going. No clear reason yet.
Otherwise, a non-event.
