Overview
- Flight DE3665 from Corfu to Düsseldorf diverted to Brindisi about 40 minutes after departure following visible flashes from the right engine captured in viral videos.
- The crew shut the affected engine down in a controlled manner after receiving a parameter indication outside the normal range, the airline said.
- No injuries were reported, and all 273 passengers and eight crew disembarked normally upon landing around 8:15 p.m. local time.
- Condor dispatched a replacement aircraft that carried passengers to Düsseldorf on Aug. 17, while limited hotel availability left some travelers overnighting at the airport with vouchers and blankets.
- Technical inspection is underway; outside suggestions of a possible bird strike remain unconfirmed by the airline.
