A Transavia Boeing 737-800 en route from Gran Canaria to Eindhoven Airport made a precautionary landing in Lisbon on Wednesday evening due to technical problems. In X, people are expressing their dissatisfaction with the situation.
Passengers on social media reported that the plane's flaps were broken and could not be operated. This could have been the reason for the emergency landing. Passengers have to wait for a long time and have nowhere to go, as can be read in X.
“The situation is not ideal”
After hours of waiting, the passengers were taken by bus to hotels in Lisbon. This will include 200 passengers who wanted to travel to the Netherlands. The passengers returned to Eindhoven airport on Thursday evening.
In X people are unhappy with the situation. The message reads, among other things: “I urge you not to fly with Transavia”. Transavia said on Channel X that “the situation was not ideal” and that they “never fly if the plane is not in good condition”.
