Overview
- A private charter carrying Bavarian Minister-President Markus Söder aborted its start in Zagreb on Friday after a cockpit warning lamp signaled a possible engine fault.
- The airline said the engine itself ran normally but that rules and safety practice prevented an immediate takeoff.
- A replacement aircraft was ordered from Germany and sent to Zagreb as a precautionary measure.
- Crew on the original plane later resolved the problem and Söder's delegation departed, landing in Munich about two hours later with no injuries reported.
- The episode shows how conservative safety protocols can delay official travel and may lead operators to review charter checks and procedures for government delegations.
