Passenger jet makes emergency landing in Mexico
A Cancun-bound Aeromexico passenger plane made an emergency landing in the
Mexican capital Wednesday after a portion of one of its engine covers came off,
although no injuries were reported, officials said.
"The cover of the plane's right engine became detached" after takeoff, Gabriel Mendicuti - the government secretary for the southeastern state of Quintana Roo, who was on board the aircraft - said on social media.
That forced the pilot to return to the Mexico City International Airport and execute an emergency landing, "which involved a lot of turbulence," he said.
The passengers on board Aeromexico Flight 3351 are "doing well, but are very frightened," Mendicuti said.
"Fortunately, the maneuver was successful, although naturally some of the passengers' nerves were shaken. We're frightened, but fortunately safe and sound," he added.
One passenger, Lucia Nadal, posted an image on Twitter showing the missing portion of the engine cover and sarcastically remarked that it was "always a pleasure to fly Aeromexico." EFE
