Airport spokesperson Lidija Capković Martinek confirmed that the aircraft landed safely on the runway, stressing that there was no danger to passengers, crew, or airport infrastructure.
“In line with prescribed procedures, a local emergency landing protocol was activated. The aircraft landed safely, and there was no threat to passengers, crew, or infrastructure,” Capković Martinek told Dnevnik.hr.
