Share

On 23 October, a Frontier Airlines Airbus A320neo (registered N304FR) operated domestic flight F91159 between Norfolk and Orlando, United States. The aircraft, however, was forced to divert to Raleigh-Durham after a fume event. 

The 102 passengers and crew members safely evacuated the aircraft using the emergency slides.

Jennifer F. de la Cruz, a spokesperson for Frontier Airlines, said to Newsobserver that the aircraft was en route to Orlando from Norfolk when it “experienced a fume/odour event.”

“Out of an abundance of caution, the aircraft diverted to Raleigh-Durham and both passengers and crew exited the aircraft via evacuation slides,” de la Cruz said in a statement.

“No injuries to passengers or crew have been reported and there was no indication of a fire on board the plane,” de la Cruz added.

Working for 25 years in the aviation industry, I changed my career and became a firefighter/EMT in 2021. I like to spend my free time with my two sons, girlfriend, family and friends. I love to travel, wine and dine and support my favourite football squad KV Mechelen. Once an Ironman 70.3 finisher and dreaming of completing a full distance.
