Swiss Air Flight Makes Emergency Landing in Austria Due to Smoke

Engine issues forced an Airbus A220-300 flying from Bucharest to Zurich to land in Graz, with one crew member critically injured.

  • The Swiss Airlines flight carrying 74 passengers and five crew members was evacuated after smoke filled the cabin and cockpit.
  • Twelve passengers and five crew members required medical attention, with one crew member in intensive care after being airlifted to a hospital.
  • The emergency landing, caused by suspected engine problems, led to the temporary closure of Graz Airport and disrupted travel schedules.
  • Passengers were accommodated overnight and flown to Zurich on a special flight organized by Swiss Airlines the following morning.
  • An investigation into the cause of the engine failure and smoke is underway, with Swiss Airlines cooperating closely with authorities.
