Panic and Protocol
Passengers felt the plane shudder as fire flickered outside.
Despite visible smoke, the crew stayed calm, following emergency procedures while pilots assessed the situation.
Emergency Landing in Italy
Recognizing the danger, the flight was diverted to Brindisi Airport in southern Italy.
Passengers were told to remain seated and brace for landing.
The aircraft touched down safely, and all onboard disembarked unharmed.

Emergency teams responded immediately.
Though the fire was out by landing, officials are investigating the exact cause.
