Cockpit Smoke Causes Lufthansa Emergency Landing

October 19, 2016

A Lufthansa Boeing 747 made an emergency landing in Canada after smoke was reported in the cockpit.

The plane, on a flight from Frankfurt to Orlando with 345 passengers and 18 crew members onboard, landed at Gander Airport in Newfoundland.

There were no injuries and the aircraft was evacuated without the need for emergency slides.

Lufthansa said a replacement aircraft would take passengers on to Florida to complete their journey.
