Nürnberg - At Nuremberg Airport, an incident triggered a large-scale deployment of emergency services and firefighters. An aircraft had to perform an emergency landing.

On the evening of Monday, February 16, 2026, dramatic scenes unfolded at Nuremberg Airport. An aircraft experienced technical difficulties mid-flight and during its subsequent landing. Numerous emergency responders were on site.

As a spokesperson for Nuremberg Airport informed our editorial team upon request, a Boeing 737 apparently experienced technical difficulties during its final approach. As a result, a so-called "precautionary landing" had to be carried out. In such cases, fire services, emergency medical teams, and aid organizations are alerted as a precaution and were present on site with numerous units. The subsequent landing proceeded without any further incidents. No one was injured

After a short time, the units on standby were withdrawn and the operation was concluded.
