An Ryanair plane carrying more than 160 passengers and crew members made an emergency landing Friday at Thessaloniki airport in northern Greece following a fire alert.
The flight, departing from Berlin to Athens, was redirected after issuing a distress signal as it flew over the Chalkidiki peninsula in the north of the country, said the Greek Civil Protection Agency.
The crew reported a cockpit fire, but emergency services deployed to the scene did not have to respond, the Greek news agency Ana reported. No injuries were reported among the 157 passengers.
