A planned flight from Antalya to Münster/Osnabrück ended with a worrying incident for passengers. The interior of the plane heated up considerably while still on the tarmac, which, according to Mavi Gök Airlines, posed a "risk to the safety of the flight, the cabin and the passengers".
The airline confirmed that air conditioning was not enough to reduce temperatures and the pilot therefore decided to prevent takeoff. This led to waiting times and unpleasant situations for passengers, the airline said.
The incident occurred on June 6, 2024, and was described by alleged passengers on social media as distressing, with temperatures over 52 degrees on board and reports of a lack of support from the airline.
Mavi Gök Airlines explained the incident as a "technical issue and other operational reasons beyond our control." A thorough investigation into the circumstances is currently underway.
