Waiting for onward flight
In the middle of the night, around 3 a.m., the plane could stop in Diyarbakir. According to the reader reporter, the landing was quite normal and no one was harmed. At the airport, however, nobody from Oman Air was there to take care of the shocked passengers. Finally, the airport staff took the stranded passengers to buses with which they were transported to a hotel. Now it is time to wait until an onward flight is available.
“I’m just happy that I’m still alive,” said the reader. «I’m not afraid to get back on a plane. It’s basically a very safe means of transportation. ”Oman Air confirmed an unscheduled landing in Diyarbakir via Twitter and apologized to the passengers for the inconvenience.
