On Saturday, a Turkish Airlines flight from Milan to
Istanbul made an emergency landing at Istanbul's Ataturk Airport, after its
engine caught fire. Television images showed firefighters approaching the plane
at the airport and putting out the fire,
and the Airbus A320 aircraft's passengers were evacuated safely.
"Turkish Airlines' TK 1878 flight from Milan to
Istanbul skipped Ataturk Airport during its first landing. It drove off the
runway after declaring an emergency landing," said company spokesman Ali
Genc to Reuters.
"All 97 passengers have been taken to the terminal with
no health problems. The reason for the incident will be clear after the
investigation," he added.
