A technical issue with an A Jet aircraft scheduled to fly from Ordu-Giresun Airport to Sabiha Gökçen Airport led to heightened tensions among passengers. After being told to reboard the same aircraft once the issue was resolved, several passengers, citing safety concerns, protested the decision.
Evacuated Due to Technical Fault
Shortly after passengers had boarded the plane bound for Sabiha Gökçen Airport, a technical fault was identified. The flight crew informed passengers of the issue and initiated an evacuation, directing them back to the terminal.
Following repairs, the airline announced that all necessary checks had been completed and that the aircraft was safe for flight. However, when passengers were asked to reboard the same plane, tensions flared in the terminal.
Passengers Demand Aircraft Replacement
Some passengers, concerned about their safety, refused to board the same plane and demanded an alternative aircraft. One passenger summarized the sentiment:
“We don’t want to board an aircraft that has already been found to have a fault. We are worried about our safety. We will wait until another plane is assigned.”
Airline: “Technical Checks Completed”
Airline officials emphasized that thorough technical inspections had been conducted and assured passengers of the aircraft’s safety. Despite this reassurance, some passengers remained unconvinced and insisted on waiting for another plane.
Ongoing Tension
As the standoff continues in the terminal, discussions between the airline and passengers are ongoing. Passengers have requested additional safety guarantees, while an official statement from the airline is awaited.
