Overview

  • The Bremen–Palma de Mallorca service turned back shortly after takeoff when the crew noticed steam in the cabin and opted for a precautionary landing.
  • All 146 passengers and crew exited the aircraft safely and declined the medical assistance that was offered.
  • A replacement aircraft has been dispatched to Bremen to carry passengers on to Mallorca with minimal delay.
  • Sundair is working with specialists and aviation authorities to investigate the source of the steam alert.
  • The unscheduled return reflects strict safety rules that mandate immediate landings at any sign of cabin smoke or steam.
