Mobile Phone Forces Plane to Land
LJUBLJANA (Reuters) - A Slovenian airliner made an emergency landing Tuesday after a passenger's mobile phone caused its electronics system to malfunction and indicate there was a fire on board, Adria Airways said Wednesday.
The state-owned carrier said a Canadair Regional Jet bound for the Bosnian capital Sarajevo had turned back soon after take-off because of the erroneous fire warning and made an emergency landing in Ljubljana.
An investigation showed that the alarm had been caused by a mobile phone in the luggage compartment which had not been switched off.
