Two easyJet Flights Make Emergency Landings in Izmir, Paris

An easyJet flight EZY2902 from Paphos to Bristol was forced to make an emergency landing in Izmir, Turkey, due to a technical issue that caused a smoke smell onboard. The Airbus A320 aircraft safely diverted about 80 minutes after departure, and emergency services met the plane as a precaution. All passengers disembarked normally and received hotel accommodations and meals; they were later transported to Bristol on a replacement aircraft. This incident occurred shortly after another easyJet flight from Manchester to Enfidha was diverted to Paris Orly for undisclosed reasons, though no injuries were reported. easyJet emphasized that passenger and crew safety remains its highest priority and that it follows strict compliance with manufacturers' guidelines. These recent diversions follow other safety concerns involving easyJet, including a suspension of a pilot who dangerously flew close to mountainous terrain on a previous flight.
