On August 18, an Israeli airline Arkia plane en route from Tel Aviv to Larnaca was forced to make an emergency return to Ben Gurion Airport just minutes after takeoff.
The reason for the forced landing was a cracked cockpit glass! After discovering the damage, the crew immediately decided to return to prevent possible threats to passengers.
Arkia's official statement stressed that the team acted quickly and professionally to keep everyone on board safe and minimize inconvenience to passengers. The company assured that no lives were in danger and all passengers were transferred safely to another plane which continued on to Larnaca.
The reasons for the cracked glass remain unknown.
