England fans are reportedly stuck in Germany following yesterday’s defeat by Spain in the Euros after their flight home was forced to do a U-turn.
Eurowings flight EW8470 from Berlin to Manchester took off at 8.09 local time this morning, but returned to the airport at 8.26am due to an ‘undefined odour in the cabin’.
The Airbus A319 plane carrying 150 passengers was met by the fire service on landing back at the airport.
Eurowings told the Independent: “There was no danger to passengers or crew at any time.”
Fans took to X, formerly Twitter, to complain. Gareth Davies wrote: “Your plane EW8470 was on fire so you landed us back in Berlin.”
He added: “You bunged us on a bus and sent us to the terminal and now there are 200 English people wandering about with no clue where to go.”
Another passenger, jhats90, wrote: “The only communication was from the air hostess to tell us not to film as they ‘don’t want to be on TikTok’. That’s the last we heard from @eurowings…”
Replying on X, Eurowings said: “Flight EW8470 made an unscheduled return to Berlin this morning due to an undefined smell in the cabin. The aircraft was subsequently inspected without any findings. As a result, the flight will be delayed and all passengers have already been informed by SMS.”
The airline added passengers will be rebooked on alternative flights.
