For Monday’s travelers aboard easyJet’s flight from Paris to Palermo, the holidays were finally about to begin. But an unusual incident finally set them back for a few hours. And for good reason, the technical control of the device had been forgotten, reports the parisian.
If the British company’s plane took off as scheduled from Roissy-Charles de Gaulle at 12:50 p.m., it was forced to turn around after about twenty minutes to carry out the mandatory technical inspection and thus be authorized to fly, as can be verified on the specialized site Flightradar24.
“We had to return to this flight, here at Charles de Gaulle, due to an inspection that had not been carried out. There are periodic aeronautical inspections for safety. There’s a lot. There’s one we had to do on this plane.
“Extremely Rare Incident”
contacted by the parisianeasyJet and the Aéroports de Paris (ADP) group confirmed the information, indicating the company that “the plane landed without problems in Paris CDG” after this “extremely rare” incident.
The passengers, “quite distraught” according to one of them, were finally able to board another Sicily-bound plane in the late afternoon and land in Palermo in the early afternoon, with a delay of more than three hours.
