Vueling aircraft emergency landings
Overview
Two separate incidents involving Vueling aircraft required emergency procedures in Spain.
On October 17, a flight en route to Milan performed an emergency landing at Barcelona-El Prat Airport after a bird strike caused an engine fire. The incident triggered the pre-alert phase of the Aerocat special plan to coordinate fire and medical services, though no injuries were reported.
On October 27, a flight from Barcelona to Tenerife North (Los Rodeos) airport triggered an emergency plan due to a technical fault involving the landing gear, specifically a locked steering system or braking issues. The aircraft landed safely after circling the airport for approximately 30 minutes, resulting in no injuries but causing minor disruptions to airport operations.
