“The reason was a parameter indication outside the normal range caused by a disturbance in the air flow supply to the engine. “Due to the fault message, it was precautionarily decided to divert to Brindisi. “This posed no danger to the guests or crew members at any time.”
Another plane was sent to fly the passengers to Düsseldorf the next day.
But limited availability in Brindisi meant that not all of them received hotel accommodation. The spokesperson added: “Unfortunately, there was insufficient hotel capacity in Brindisi, meaning that not all guests could be accommodated in hotels. “Additional vouchers and blankets were organised at the airport, and a few shops were allowed to remain open to provide supplies.
“Passengers who took advantage of alternative accommodation options can submit their expenses for reimbursement. “We apologise for any inconvenience caused, but the safety of our passengers and employees is always our top priority.”
The plane is currently undergoing a technical inspection.
