Venice-Bound Germanwings Flight Diverts to Stuttgart Airport

Germanwings Flight 4U 814 had to divert and make an unscheduled landing at Stuttgart Airport, Germany, on April 4.

The airline said the Airbus A319, en-route from Cologne, Germany, to Venice, Italy, had to be diverted after the pilot reported suspected oil leakage and shut down one of the engines. “This is a standard safety procedure. It was not an emergency landing,” the statement said.

The plane landed safely and all 123 passengers and 5 crew members remained safe.

The aircraft was taken for inspection while an alternate plane was arranged for the passengers.
