Overview
- The Jet2 Airbus A321 with 225 passengers and seven crew diverted and landed safely at Erfurt-Weimar Airport late Sunday night, and the cabin was evacuated without injuries.
- Airport officials described an "unclear smoke development" that triggered the crew to make a precautionary safety landing.
- Erfurt fire brigade personnel found no fire on board and airport staff moved passengers to the terminal for care and accommodation.
- The aircraft will remain in Erfurt while Jet2 technicians examine systems and equipment to determine the cause of the smoke alarm.
- Passengers are due to continue to London on a replacement Jet2 plane that the airline and airport said would be arranged that morning, and investigators will monitor findings for any operational or safety follow-ups.
