Smoke in cockpit forces Budapest-Lyon flight's emergency landing in Austria
VIENNA, June 9 (Reuters) - Smoke in the cockpit forced a plane carrying 143 passengers and six crew to the eastern French city of Lyon from Budapest to make an emergency landing in Graz, Austria's second city, Austrian police said on Monday.
"No people were injured in the incident. The cause of the smoke is currently unclear," police in the Austrian state of Styria, of which Graz is the capital, said in a statement.
The statement did not specify which airline the plane belonged to but the only flight from Budapest on Monday listed on Lyon-Saint Exupery airport's website was EasyJet (EZJ.L), opens new tab flight 4400.
EasyJet's website said the flight was diverted to Graz and landed there at 3:25 p.m. (1325 GMT). It also listed a "follow-on flight" to Lyon from Graz scheduled for 5 p.m. but estimated to depart at 9:45 p.m.
Flight tracking website Flightradar24, which EasyJet features on its website, said the plane that landed in Graz was an Airbus 319.

Airlines reduce baggage loss by using new tech, report shows
The number of bags lost by airlines decreased last year because the aviation sector is utilising technological innovations, according to a new report. Aviation technology company Sita said 33.4 million bags were mishandled in 2024, compared with 33.8 million during the previous year. Given the 8.2% increase in passenger numbers, the rate of bags lost fell to 6.3 per 1,000 passengers, down from 6.9 in 2023. This is a 67% drop since 2007. Sita said airports and airlines are handling baggage with 'more precision' by using real-time tracking, AI-powered analytics and self-service systems. The report stated that these advancements are 'no longer experimental, they are becoming standard and they are clearly having an effect'. Sita chief executive David Lavorel said: 'We've seen a radical shift with automation and the widespread use of real-time tracking. ' Passengers now expect their baggage experience to be as easy and transparent as using a rideshare or delivery app. 'It's no longer just about moving bags, it's about delivering a smooth, connected journey. ' Airlines are ready to tap into technology that improves the passenger experience while keeping costs down and being simple to roll out. 'Together with our partners, we're reimagining baggage handling to give passengers full visibility and control from departure to arrival, giving them peace of mind and making travel simpler and better.' Despite the improvement, lost bags cost the aviation industry an estimated five billion US dollars (£4.2 billion) last year from courier returns, customer service, claims handling and lost productivity. Delays remained the most common baggage issue last year, accounting for 74% of mishandling incidents. Of the 33.4 million mishandled bags, some 66% were 'resolved' within 48 hours, the report added.

Regional carrier Silver Airways says it's shutting down operations
Regional carrier Silver Airways announced Wednesday it is shutting down operations after a failed attempt at restructuring through bankruptcy, leaving some passengers stranded at airports in Florida, the Bahamas and the Caribbean. 'Please do not go to the airport,' the Hollywood, Florida-based company posted on its website. The statement said Silver had sold its assets through the Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceeding to a holding company that 'unfortunately has determined to not continue Silver's flight operations" that served five Florida cities and 11 island destinations. Passengers can seek refunds through their credit card issuer or travel agency, the Silver statement said. Silver's fleet had been reduced to just eight ATR turboprop planes and its workforce cut from 608 to 348 pilots, flight attendants and ground workers, according to the company. An email to employees from Silver's CEO said most of those jobs will be eliminated. Silver Airways began operations in 2011 and once served 28 destinations. A subsidiary based in Puerto Rico, Seaborne Airlines, will continue to operate in the Caribbean.

A global pilot shortage is causing havoc for airlines, with no end in sight
It's not the news that summer holidaymakers were hoping for. Amid staff and fleet shortages, a major airline has cancelled 1.5 per cent of its flights between now and October, which could affect up to 50,000 UK passengers travelling from Gatwick, Heathrow, Manchester and Edinburgh. Swiss is scrapping up to 15 flights per day from its schedules in an attempt to make up for a lack of around 70 pilots, according to the World Tourism Forum. It says that the airline is hoping to mitigate some of the effects of the shortage by buying back holiday allowance and deferring retirement for some staff, as well as encouraging those working part-time to increase their hours. But Swiss isn't the only European airline facing difficulties. Air France pilots have been commandeered to fly understaffed KLM routes and Finnair has slashed its summer services due to an ongoing dispute with pilots (though it appeared to have reached a tentative agreement last week). Meanwhile, both easyJet and BA have launched recruitment drives, with the former hoping to employ 1,000 new pilots by 2028 through its two-year intensive Generation easyJet programme. It's in response to industry suggestions that airlines will need to find around 650,000 pilots to plug the gap between now and 2043. But why has this happened, what's being done about the problem and what does it mean for your summer holiday? Age-old problems Pilots are getting older. In the United States, the average age of a commercial airline pilot rose from 40.5 to 44.2 in the period between 1990 and 2010, according to a report by the AOPA Air Safety Institute, while more recent numbers published by the Statista Research Department suggest this had risen to 45.3 by 2020. During the pandemic, amid job uncertainty exacerbated by a perceived lack of sensitive management from some airlines, many chose to seek early retirement. Those who stayed must leave their jobs at 65 by law in any case, meaning that many will soon be ageing out of the industry. Filling those gaps will take time. 'There is now a training backlog with flight schools running at full capacity, but they cannot keep up with demand. Flight schools also face their own challenges recruiting enough qualified flight instructors,' says Mark Charman, chief executive of aviation and airlines agency Goose Recruitment. Private matters There may be another issue at play too. Though becoming a pilot was once seen as one of the most glamorous jobs in the world, it's not as popular among younger generations seeking a better work/life balance. With increasingly packed schedules, it's easy to see why the occupation no longer holds such appeal – and why some pilots have side-stepped into a more tempting part of the industry. 'The business jet sector is impacting the shortage of airline pilots as it's attracting commercial pilots who want to make the move to business aviation. The business jet market has seen a boom over the last few years with high-net-worth individuals and corporates seeking experienced pilots,' says Charman. 'Business aviation operators often offer more appealing rosters, less time away from home and smaller crew environments – making them attractive for pilots burnt out from airline life. In some cases, especially for experienced captains, the pay is significantly higher.' Retirement and moves to private operators have left a talent gap in the industry but, until recently, many airlines haven't been thinking laterally about how to fill it. 'Airlines want pilots straight out of the box and ready to fly. They want pilots with the right type rating to fly the right aircraft and with the right hours – and they want them right now,' says Charman. 'Type rating' is the crucial term here – one which refers to a specific endorsement on a pilot's licence that authorises them to operate a particular aircraft type, based on the number of hours they've spent in simulators, in real flight and undergoing specific training. 'If you're a low-hour pilot starting out and you don't have a type rating on the required aircraft, or perhaps you don't have a type rating at all, there are few opportunities,' Charman adds. 'Some airlines are starting to invest in these pilots with the future in mind, but others have been slow off the mark.' Future investment This means that, within the industry, rumours are swirling about wider disruption over the summer months. The situation is exacerbated by many airlines facing delays to deliveries of ordered planes, in part because of increased demand. But with operators scrambling to retain their reputations, pilot salaries are finally increasing after a period of flatlining (and even decreases). In 2024, captains earned between €120,000 (£101,000) and €270,000 (£227,000) according to Airline Ratings, up almost 50 per cent on the previous year. Salaries for new pilots remain low, however, although many will have spent as much as £100,000 on training. This combination significantly narrows the pool of talent who might be tempted to choose flying as a career, and is a key motivator for schemes such as BA's Speedbird programme, which will fund 200 pilots as they go through their training. The good news for them is that the need for higher-level qualifications seems to have lessened over time. Applicants for easyJet's programme 'need to be aged 18 or over by the time they begin training and have a minimum of five General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) of Grade C or above (or equivalent), including mathematics, science and English language – no higher qualifications or degrees are required'. Meanwhile, BA asks for six GCSEs at grades 5-9 and the 'ability to swim for at least 50 metres and then tread water for three minutes and assist other people in the water' among other stipulations. Nevertheless, as our ' Do you have what it takes to be a pilot? ' quiz shows, requirements are still specific and exacting – and it could be some time before pilot numbers rise significantly. In the meantime, fewer flights usually mean higher fares – so once again, it looks like it'll be holidaymakers footing the bill.
