ALBAWABA- A UAE-operated passenger plane made an emergency landing at Esenboğa Airport in Ankara on Wednesday after one of its engines failed mid-flight.
The Airbus A320-214, operated by Air Arabia, was en route from Sharjah to Istanbul when its left engine suddenly malfunctioned, prompting the pilot to declare a full emergency.
Using only one functioning engine, the pilot safely landed the aircraft at the Turkish capital's main airport.
Emergency and firefighting teams were deployed in advance, securing the runway and surrounding areas in preparation for the landing.
The plane was carrying 144 passengers along with crew members. All passengers were safely evacuated to the airport terminal without any reported injuries.
The aircraft was towed to a designated parking zone under the supervision of emergency responders.
