A First Choice B757-200 enroute from Cape Verde with 230 pax onboard diverted to Porto Santo (an island next to Madeira) due to, aparently, a fuel leak on the right engine.
The landing was uneventful, so it goes on to say the report. :ok:
Cheers,

Why should the landing have been anything but unevenful? he has a suspected fuel leak on a engine, nothing more.. non event.

Maybe it's a very small island?
I know - it's a small island with a long runway

More than a 'Non' event if you have leaking fuel, I would say?

Found my thread!!!
Did not know that it had been moved to the "Spectators balcony"
Sorry for having put it initially in the wrong place!!! :O
Though that it had been simply removed as I read in a local forum
people saying that it could not be First choice. That no longer
exists and, therefore, there would be no truthness in what was
being reported.
"Merger" is the key to the mistery.
In reality it was a Thomson flight but the aircraft is still in
First Choice colors.
Safe flights,
