Steam in the engine: Sundair flight returns to Bremen!

An unexpected incident today caused excitement at Bremen Airport. The passenger machine of the airline Sundair, which wanted to take off in the morning towards Palma de Mallorca, returned after the start due to steam in the cockpit. This reported NDR .

The reason for the steam was quickly determined: residual moisture from a engine washing process that was carried out on Friday. The crew decided to reverse for security reasons. Fortunately, there were no injuries, and after the safe landing, all 146 passengers and the crew were able to leave the plane unharmed. Medical help was not necessary, and a replacement machine for the onward journey to Palma was already provided in Bremen.

weather conditions and safety precautions

A compact weather event occurred during the flight: the machine was captured by a strong gust of wind and pressed by the runway. This confirmed the crew and underlines the challenges that weather conditions for aircraft can bring. Incidents such as this show how important security precautions and quick action are in aviation, especially when you consider that bird strikes represent a constant danger, as a study explains. According to Aviation Direct such incidents are one of the greatest dangers for aircraft, especially when starting and landing.

An example of the risks are bird strikes that also occurred yesterday when the Alaska Airlines flight from Portlando to Orlando. None of the passengers were injured, but the incident illustrates the omnipresent of these dangers in aviation.

past and incidents

Overall, aviation remains an area in which constant vigilance and further development are required. With today's incident, Sundair once again demonstrated that the safety of the passengers comes first and quickly reacted to potential dangers.
