Overview
- The EasyJet aircraft en route from Copenhagen to Amsterdam was diverted to Hamburg and landed safely after being met by rescue teams and the airport fire brigade as a precaution.
- EasyJet and an airport spokeswoman described the problem as a suspected technical defect and said engineers have started a formal technical investigation into the fault.
- Local reporting has mentioned possible inconsistencies in flight instruments, but that detail has not been confirmed by the airline or investigators.
- It was not immediately clear whether the Amsterdam service would continue on the same plane or how many passengers were aboard at the time of the diversion.
- The diversion adds to a short cluster of recent unscheduled Hamburg landings, including a Norwegian flight last week that reported cabin pressure problems and passenger nosebleeds, and investigators will say if the events are related.
