A KLM Boeing 777-300ER plane registered PH-BVB operating flight KL589 from Amsterdam to Accra (Ghana) had to make an emergency landing this Saturday (10 July) at Son Sant Joan airport in Palma de Mallorca, Balearic Islands, after a fire warning inside the aircraft.

Apparently, the fire would have broken out in one of the aircraft’s holds. The emergency landing went smoothly.
