  • Passengers and social-media videos documented flames and loud bangs despite Condor’s confirmation that there was no core engine fire.
  • The Boeing 757 landed safely in Brindisi at 20:15 local time and all 273 passengers plus eight crew disembarked without injuries.
  • Condor arranged vouchers and hotel rooms where available and flew travelers to Düsseldorf the following morning on a replacement aircraft.
  • A full technical inspection is underway in Brindisi as aviation authorities investigate the cause of the disrupted airflow.
