Panic on board when a Swedish charter plane emergency landing
Leisure trips would fly one hundred vacationers from Malmo to Mallorca.
But the smoke in the cockpit turned the flight into a nightmare.
- People were screaming in panic, they do not want to die, says Mattias Sonngård, 23.
– A stewardess was crying when she said there was a mechanical failure.
It was last Friday night that the plane suffered problems during the flight to Palma de Mallorca Airport. The Spanish equivalent of the CAA confirms the incident. "A plane from Malmö landed with smoke in the cabin," the press-contact Cristina Díaz Rio in an email to Aftonbladet.
Terrified passengers
The plane belongs to the airline, Malmö Aviation and was chartered by the tour operator Fritidsresor.
In Malmö Aviation was the smoke from a broken screen in the cock-pit.
- There was never any danger to passengers, but they staged a so-called priority landing, said Marie Malmros at Fritidsresor.
But the passengers who spoke to Aftonbladet gives a different picture of the incident. Mattias Sonngård was on vacation with his girlfriend and her in-laws.
- It was like a movie when the plane crashes, complete chaos. People were screaming that they do not want to die and drag at flight attendants, he said.
Fainted from fear
Ten minutes before landing, said one of the flight attendants that the plane had a technical failure. According to Mattias Sonngård got the passengers to know more than they would prepare for a crash landing - and that paramedics and firefighters were waiting down on the ground.
A man passed out, says Mattias Sonngård.
- There were many who were preparing to die during those few minutes, he said.
He is highly critical of how the cabin crew handled the incident.
- Air hostesses gave a terrified impression, one of them was very tearful. It was their behavior that gave us the agony. they conveyed that we are all going to die, he says.
No emergency assistance
After landing - what did - waited no aid to the passengers, says Mattias Sonngård.
- It was just goodbye. It was terribly unprofessional and amateurish it all. No one even told what it was that had happened, he says.
Leisure trips confirms that the passengers did not receive emergency assistance after landing - and criticizes his partner Malmö Aviation.
