FQ5608 14/8 BRU-TFS: cracked windshield

Post by Marten »

A Thomas Cook Airlines Airbus A320-200, registration OO-TCH performing flight FQ-5608 from Brussels (Belgium) to Tenerife,CI (Spain), was enroute at FL350 overhead the Gulf of Biscay south west of Nantes (France) about one hour into the flight, when the crew decided to descend to FL230 and return to Brussels due to a cracked windshield. The airplane landed safely about 2.5 hours after departure.

The flight is currently estimated to depart again with a delay of 7 hours.

... and departed at 13:50, i.e. 7 hrs 20 min late.
