The holiday airline Condor had to make a safety landing at Lisbon Airport on Saturday with the Boeing 767-300ER D-ABUD on the way from Frankfurt to Punta Cana. The company confirmed that flight DE2162 had to land in Portugal on an unscheduled basis and stated that the reason was an oil display in the cockpit.

The 29-year-old Boeing 767-300ER is said to have suffered unconfirmed reports from Portugal after an oil loss on engine 2. As a precaution, Lisbon Airport kept the fire brigade ready. This procedure is common, but it was not used. The passengers could safely exit the long-haul jet. Condor did not comment on a question regarding oil leakage.

“We can confirm that flight DE2162 on the way from Frankfurt to Punta Cana made an unscheduled stopover in Lisbon yesterday, purely as a precaution. The reason for the safety landing was an oil gauge in the cockpit that had to be checked, ”a Condor spokeswoman told Aviation.Direct. “The plane landed safely in Lisbon. The guests and crew stayed overnight in hotels and started their journey to Punta Cana at noon on board a replacement aircraft that was positioned from Frankfurt to Lisbon ”.

The D-ABUD is still in Lisbon and is currently being examined by technicians, according to the Condor media officer. The 29-year-old D-ABUC ferry was transferred to Lisbon as a replacement aircraft and then the journey to Punta Cana was continued with this Boeing 767-300ER.
