Smoke in the cockpit and cabin of a Swiss-operated Airbus A220-300 during a 23 December flight forced the crew to make an emergency landing in Graz, Austria. 

In a post on social media platform X, the Lufthansa Group carrier confirmed “an incident” involving flight LX1885 – which was carrying 74 passengers and five crew members from Bucharest to Zurich.

”The cockpit crew decided to make an unscheduled landing in Graz,” the carrier says. ”The aircraft is currently on the runway, the passengers have been evacuated.” 

Local reports suggest that the aircraft suffered from engine issues, which caused thick smoke to enter the cabin. 

A total of 17 passengers and crew members required medical attention as a result, with one crew member requiring airlift to a hospital. 

Images shared on social media purportedly show passengers evacuating the A220 via emergency slides.
