The Flybondi airline denied that a plane carrying graduates to Bariloche had an engine out and had to make an emergency landing. The news went viral the day before by a journalist who later came out to admit his mistake.
The company assured that the flight that carried out the Córdoba-Bariloche route after takeoff returned to the airport of origin due to a technical indication. “It should be noted that at no time did he have problems with an engine or suffer a loss of fuel”they assured.
In short, the aircraft with registration LV-KJF landed without any problems and then continued with its schedule for the day.
The journalist Ignacio Cadario had assured that, shortly after taking off, a Flybondi plane that was flying to Bariloche with a group of students who were going on their graduation trip had to return to the Córdoba airport, from where it had departed, due to an important technical defect.
One of the aircraft’s engines shut down and forced the pilot to return to the place of origin. Added to this inconvenience was the sensors alarm turning on, indicating a possible loss of fuel.
Then, in his X account he corrected the information: “There was no engine off and it was a false alarm from a sensor. Furthermore, they indicate (from the company) that the passengers who were going to Bariloche had neither panic nor fear, that after an hour they left again on another plane that arrived at its destination perfectly.”
