Helicopter Makes Emergency Landing in Mykonos After Smoke Indication

A helicopter made an emergency landing at Mykonos airport on Saturday night after a smoke indication in the rear of the aircraft.

The Olympic helicopter was on a ferry flight from Rhodes to Athens, meaning it had no passengers, only a pilot and co-pilot.

At 22:08, the Mykonos Control Tower ordered the landing, and the emergency plan was activated. The Mykonos Airport Fire Service (PYAL) was on full alert.

The aircraft landed safely, and a thorough inspection followed, with no fire found. Initial reports indicate a technical indication from a sensor, and the landing was precautionary.
