Tense moments occurred this morning aboard a plane that had taken off from Otopeni Airport, heading towards Rome. Shortly after takeoff, the aircraft, with 218 passengers on board, was forced to return to the runway due to a technical issue reported by the crew.

According to information, an unusual smell was felt in the cabin, which prompted the captain to decide to carry out additional checks. For this reason, the flight to Rome was rescheduled for 15:30, thus ensuring the safety of the passengers. Airport authorities managed the situation, and passengers were informed about the new arrangements.
