Innsbruck: Trade Air Fokker 100 had to make a safety landing in Zagreb

On its way from Thessaloniki to Innsbruck, the Croatian airline Trade Air had to make an unscheduled landing in Zagreb with the fleet's only Fokker 100 on Friday. The machine with the registration 9A-BTE had a technical defect.

Trade Air was on the road with the Fokker 100 on behalf of the tour operator Idealtours. Flight number C3 703 was on the way back from Thessaloniki to Innsbruck. In the afternoon of June 24, 2022, the pilots received a warning message in the cockpit and therefore decided to make a stopover in Zagreb at low altitude and slow speed. The cause was a hydraulic failure. The crew was able to land the jet safely. There were 100 passengers on board. There was never any danger to the passengers. Trade Air's home base is in Zagreb, so that the necessary technical checks and repairs can be carried out there.

However, this was unfavorable for Idealtours vacationers, because the other charter flights planned with this machine from Innsbruck had to be cancelled. Trade Air only stepped in at the beginning of this week and brought those passengers who were left sitting by Eurowings Europe on Sunday to their holiday destination in Lamezia Terme. Last weekend, the Lufthansa subsidiary was unable to operate two Airbus A319s stationed in Salzburg due to a lack of staff. Idealtours should have flown to Lamezia Terme via machine circulation.

There were also failures at Austrian Airlines in Innsbruck, because the course OS913 (Vienna-Innsbruck) failed on Thursday evening. As a result, the connection to the Vienna hub, which was planned for 6:30 a.m. on Friday as OS914, was also not carried out.
