Emergency landing for Palma plane

A Ryanair plane has been forced to make an emergency landing in Palma, Mallorca this morning (Thursday) after a fire warning light came on. The plane, which was carrying 148 passengers, was forced to make the emergency landing at Mallorca’s Son Sant Joan airport.

The plane, which was headed from Palma to Memmingen in Germany, took off at around 06.45am. A short time later the light came on, meaning that the plane had to return to the departure airport.

No passengers were injured and there was no smoke inhalation following the landing, according to Spain’s airport authority, Aena.

Airport authorities are currently looking in to the incident to determine why the warning light may have come on.
