More fear than harm for passengers on the Toulouse-Munich flight departing from Blagnac airport at 1:30 p.m. Wednesday. As the A320 prepares to land a few minutes later, a major storm rumbles causing panic on board. “It was dark at 3 o’clock in the afternoon, we could see that it was not normal”, testifies one of the passengers of the flight who is still not recovering from her emotions. “When the storm fell, the plane went like a roller coaster. It was impressive… We went up, we went down. We all looked at each other. Fear could be read on the faces. The plane took off again as if we were going to take off, but it was forced to turn around. »
Facing Mother Nature, the plane of the German company Lufthansa is forced to make an emergency landing in Austria, at Salzburg airport. “Now we are waiting to leave and finish our 20 minute flight to Germany. It can take 30 minutes or hours. The crew explained to us that we depended on the storm, ”adds the Toulousaine who lives in Berlin.
In this small Austrian airport, the passengers waited on the plane before being able to take off again around 5:30 p.m. and finally land in Munich, without problem this time.
