ANA plane makes emergency landing at Naha Airport
Three passengers suffered minor injuries, the airline said, after the plane experienced a possible engine malfunction.
On Wednesday night, an All Nippon Airways flight carrying 152 passengers experienced an emergency landing at Naha Airport in Okinawa Prefecture, Japan, due to a potential engine issue. Following takeoff, an indicator showed that the oil temperature in the right engine of the Boeing 737-800 jet was unusually high, approximately 20 minutes into the journey. Consequently, the aircraft shut down the malfunctioning engine and safely returned to Naha Airport, landing shortly after 10 p.m.
Three passengers sustained minor injuries, including scratches, according to ANA. Once the plane touched down, an emergency evacuation was performed on the taxiway. Notably, no fire or smoke was detected at the scene. The airline and other sources are currently investigating the root cause of the incident. The transport ministry has designated the situation as a serious case that could have resulted in an accident.
