Lufthansa flight makes emergency landing in Rhodes due to odour
An unidentified odour that appeared in the galley was the reason for an emergency landing on Monday evening on the Greek island of Rhodes for a Lufthansa Airbus A330-300 flight, a spokesperson for the German airline announced.
The suspicious smell, which could indicate an electrical short circuit, prompted the Lufthansa pilots flying from Frankfurt am Main to Dubai in the United Arab Emirates to make an emergency landing on the island of Rhodes.
