For passengers on a Condor flight from Frankfurt Airport to the Dominican Republic, the journey across the Atlantic takes an ugly turn.

Frankfurt – For passengers on Condor flight DE-2162 from Frankfurt Airport* to Punta Cana (Dominican Republic), the journey across the Atlantic has taken an ugly turn.

As reported by the Aviation Herald portal, there was an incident on the flight on Saturday (01/08/2022).

About 450 kilometers west of Lisbon (Portugal), the oil gauge in the cockpit of the Boeing 763-300 forced the pilots to suddenly turn back.

A little later, the crew on board the Condor flight from Frankfurt Airport * even had to turn off the engine, as reported by Aviation Herald.
