On December 23, a flight from Bucharest, Romania to Zurich, Switzerland took a tragic turn when a flight attendant lost their life. The Swiss International airplane had to make an emergency landing in Austria due to engine troubles, causing chaos on board the Airbus A220-300. The situation became dire as smoke began to fill the cabin, prompting the pilots to divert the plane to the city of Graz.
Thankfully, all 74 passengers and crew members were safely evacuated from the jet on the tarmac. However, the incident left a dozen people in need of medical care, with some even being taken to the hospital. Unfortunately, one member of the Swiss cabin crew had to be rushed to the hospital and was put into intensive care. Tragically, the young man passed away on Monday, exactly one week after the incident.
Jens Fehlinger, CEO of the airline, expressed his condolences and paid tribute to their beloved colleague. He stated, "We are all deeply shocked by his death. The news leaves us deeply saddened and stunned. Our thoughts are with the young man's relatives, whose pain must be boundless." In respect for the grieving family, Swiss has chosen not to disclose any further information about the crew member or the cause of death.
Initial investigations into the incident have revealed that the jet experienced a technical defect in one of its engines, leading to the smoke filling the cabin and cockpit.
