On Saturday, 2 September, Air Malta flight KM483 from Geneva to Malta (operated by Airbus A320 registered 9H-AEP pictures above) faced technical problems and returned to base twice.
The A320 took off the first time at 19:47, one hour late, and circled around Lake Geneva before landing again after 30 minutes.
After some checks, the aircraft took off again at 22:36 as flight AMC483A, but again it circled around the lake and landed at Geneva Airport around 23:00. The plane is still there at the time of writing.
The safety of passengers and crew is a top priority, said Air Malta. Engineers are addressing the issues. Passengers were given an overnight hotel stay, and the airline apologised for the inconvenience and expressed gratitude for their patience.
