Incidents
On June 25, 2013, this airplane had its first battle with a coffee maker. On a flight from Frankfurt, Germany to Detroit, Michigan, an electrical burning odour was detected while cruising at 35,000 over Amsterdam, Netherlands. The flight was diverted to Amsterdam for a safe landing. After nearly a three hour delay and the removal of the faulty coffee maker, the aircraft took off again for its destination.
Move ahead to February 28, 2017 and this Airbus A330-300 was once again the victim of a faulty coffee maker. On a flight from Frankfurt to Dammam, Saudi Arabia, a burning odour was detected while cruising at 37,000 feet over Athens, Greece. The airplane was diverted to Athens for a safe landing. A little more serious than the previous incident, the airliner remained on the ground for over 18 hours before being sent back to Germany.
