AUA flight makes emergency landing in Romania

An Austrian Airlines (AUA) flight made an emergency landing today (Weds) in the eastern Romanian city of Iasi after a fire broke out in the pilots’ compartment, airport manager Marian Vasile said.

The Dash plane, which had taken off from Vienna, was carrying 27 passengers who had to use oxygen masks as the plane descended.

"Passengers were taken off the plane quickly and are in the airport. The cause of fire has not yet been determined," Vasile said, adding that no one had been injured.

The plane was supposed to fly back to Vienna this afternoon, according to online newspaper Romanian Times.
