The aircraft was diverted to Geneva during its Monday morning flight from Milan to Luxembourg City as a precautionary measure after a pressure issue was detected in the oil circuit the airline confirmed, 2 April, in an official Luxair press release.
Representatives of Luxair also stated that at no stage was there a risk to passengers and crew, and those on board were swiftly supported by firefighters called to the evacuation – a common precautionary measure and safety procedure for all unscheduled landings.
All passengers were re-booked and were able to reach their final destination on the same day.
The aircraft later returned to Luxembourg without issue.
Flight LG6992, carrying 69 passengers, departed Milan at 8.40am before altering course to Switzerland.
In our article published on 2 April 2025 regarding a passenger’s claims of “serious” issues experienced during a recent Luxair journey, we reported that the vehicle in question suffered an " engine oil leak” and further expressed the view that oil had been present during boarding.
We would like to clarify that, following a review of the incident and official statements from the transport operator, no critical technical failure was recorded during the journey, and all safety procedures were followed in accordance with established regulations. While the passenger did express concern, the situation did not pose an immediate threat to public safety as originally implied.
We regret the inaccuracy and any confusion caused, and we remain committed to reporting responsibly and accurately.
