The landing was smooth in the presence of firefighters. Lufthansa did not specify the reason for the technical damage that caused this return.
Passengers are being transported to Shanghai on another Boeing 747-400 aircraft (D-ABVP) some 14 hours later. The plane is still in the air at the moment of writing.
