‘Anyone heard of an incident aboard a Fokker 50 at Schiphol over the last two weeks? I was sat next to a very nervous passenger the other day. She was in tears, and told me she’d been on a flight that had to land and have an emergency evacuation (smoke, etc.). I have found no further info on this anywhere.:confused:

Hmmm…. I think I was having my leg pulled! I thought it was rather strange to be sat next to someone who had experienced an emergency on their last flight, because I had too! Mine was an engine failure and it was dealt with so well that some passengers didn’t even notice the aircraft turned back. The landing felt like a pretty routine event too.

Nothing known to me. I checked back on unscheduled returns going back to early/mid august. No F50s are mentioned, though a F70 and F100 are mentioned. Neither mentioned smoke, though only partial details are available.
I am also thinking she might have meant the Munich ATR flight. It’s the only one that jumps to mind right now.
