The plane of the Dutch airline Transavia, which took off from Paris to the Greek Santorini, returned to the French capital. On Sunday, July 11, TASS reports with reference to a representative of the Paris branch of the airline.
“The plane of flight TO3558 departed normally from Paris at 16.50 (17.50 Moscow time). However, he is now returning due to the refusal of the Greek airport to receive him. There is no talk of any technical malfunction on board, ”the airline said.
The interlocutor of the agency clarified that the return of the liner is due to the refusal to accept it by the airport on the Greek island of Santorini. The Boeing 737 was denied landing for technical reasons.
The fact that the plane was redirected to the city of departure is evidenced by the data of the flight tracking portal Flightradar24. So, the plane turned around near the French commune of Tournus. On his return, he made three circles in the area of the commune of Fosua.
In early July, a passenger plane of the Russian airline IrAero, heading from Blagoveshchensk to Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, was forced to land at the airport of departure. As it became known, the return of the aircraft for technical reasons was announced at the 36th minute of the flight.
