Flybe plane makes emergency landing
A Flybe plane was forced to make an emergency landing in Paris on Saturday due to “minor technical” difficulties.
The service from the Exeter-based airline was returning skiers from Geneva to Cardiff when the flight was forced to land at Paris Orly international at around 4pm (January 4).
On landing fire crews treated the plane’s left engine with hoses and passengers were unloaded from the plane.
All 68 passengers were unhurt and taken on a later flight from Paris to Cardiff
Passenger Luke Broadley, who was returning from a Skiing holiday praised the Flybe crew on twitter.
He wrote:“ All offloaded and heading to terminal. @flybe crew have been fantastic throughout”
A Flybe spokeswoman confirmed that the flight "experienced a minor technical fault and diverted to Paris Orly".
