What: Malev Hungarian Airlines de Havilland Dash 8-400 en route from Budapest Hungary to Geneva Switzerland
Where: Salzburg
When: Oct 8th 2009
Who: 37 passengers and 4 crew
Why: While en route to Geneva, the plane’s left engine experienced a drop in oil pressure. The flight diverted to Salzburg, where the passengers debarked. The passengers were provided hotel accommodations; and the plane went to maintenance, presumably to resume the flight on the 9th.

*note– We believe that the reports that the ENGINE ON THIS FLIGHT FELL OFF–are highly exaggerated. In fact, we think there’s a simple mistranslation somewhere, since the routine response for an oil pressure problem on a plane with more than one engine frequently involves turning an engine off (as opposed to it falling off.)
