A Swiss International Air Lines aircraft was forced to make an emergency landing in the Austrian city of Graz due to smoke in the cabin and cockpit.

As reported by "European Truth," this information comes from DW citing a statement from the airline.

The Airbus A220-300 was en route from Bucharest to Zurich on Monday when the crew decided to abort the flight "due to engine problems."

There were 79 people on board flight LX1885, including five crew members.

The aircraft landed safely, and all passengers were evacuated.

Twelve passengers received medical assistance, while one crew member was airlifted to a hospital in Graz. Their condition remains unknown.

Additionally, four other crew members are also under medical observation, the airline reported.

SWISS, part of the Lufthansa group, stated that it is in close contact with the authorities and is making every effort to determine the cause of the incident.

It is worth noting that European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen provided first aid to a passenger on the SWISS flight.

Moreover, last year, a plane from this airline arrived in Spain without a single suitcase on board.
