An Air Malta aircraft operating flight KM352 from Malta to Dusseldorf performed a precautionary priority landing upon arrival at the airport.

The aircraft landed normally, the airline said in a statement. The decision was taken by the captain and flying crew to assure the safety of all 125 passengers on board and to minimise any discomfort to the passengers.

The aircraft was inspected in line with required procedures and a galley faulty oven fan was identified. The aircraft has been declared serviceable and is already on its way to Malta with the passengers of KM 353.

Air Malta said its highest priority is the safety and well-being of its customers and crew. The airline apologises for any inconvenience.
