Shortly after the Start in Zurich at 7 am on Saturday morning, the crew of the Edelweiss Air flight WK 402 noted an Irregularity of the engine control. The pilots decided that the flight to Pristina, to cancel and to Zurich return, as spokesman Andreas Meier confirmed on request of “20 minutes”. In Zurich you have the necessary Equipment for a repair.
Since the machine was so shortly after the Start, too hard for a landing, circled the plane around 1.5 hours in the air to burn fuel. So the same length as a flight to the destination would have taken.
On Board 172 passengers and 6 crew members, according to Meier. For the passengers and the Crew never had a risk. A replacement machine to bring the traveler tonight by 22 clock to Pristina.
