On Saturday, December 4, 2023, Lufthansa flight LH575 en route from Cape Town to Munich had to make an unscheduled landing in Luanda (Angola). The Airbus A350-900 with the registration D-AIXE is affected.

The cockpit crew of the long-haul aircraft identified technical problems in the area of ​​the left engine over Angolan territory. Therefore, it was decided to initiate the descent and landed unscheduled at Luanda Airport. Due to a lack of spare parts available on site, the onward flight takes a few days.
