Crew members seek medical attention following unexpected plane landing in Switzerland
Rewritten Article:
Had a harrowing experience on Monday night, when an Airbus 220-300, carrying 79 souls - 74 passengers and five crew - encountered some serious trouble during a flight from Bucharest to Zurich. Swiss Airlines confirmed the incident, stating that the aircraft was compelled to make an emergency landing in Graz due to engine malfunctions and mysterious smoke invading both the cabin and cockpit.
In a statement, the airline disclosed that two crew members are still receiving medical attention in the hospital. One crew member was helicoptered to a hospital in Graz and is now in critical care, with the specifics of their condition still under wraps. The passengers who were hospitalized have since been discharged, Swiss declared.
Moving ahead, Swiss Airlines transported 63 passengers to Zurich on a special flight and are providing assistance to the ones who are still stranded in Graz. As for the cause of the incident, Swiss remained tight-lipped, only mentioning that the relevant authorities are investigating the matter further. No additional details were provided.
It's estimated that incidents like this one, albeit rare, are still of great concern for the aviation industry. Some web sources mention other smoke-related incidents on different flights, such as the Viva Aerobus and the Rise Air. Yet, those instances don't involve an Airbus A220-300 or the Bucharest to Zurich route(1).
