A flight that made an emergency landing resulted in the death of a cabin crew member.

A cabin crew member lost their life following a smoke incident on a passenger plane that made an emergency landing due to engine failure.

The Airbus A220-300 aircraft, which was flying from Bucharest to Zurich, made an emergency landing in Graz, Austria, on December 23, after the cabin filled with smoke due to engine failure. The plane, which had 74 passengers and 5 crew members on board, was evacuated, and 12 people received treatment at the scene.

One cabin crew member was taken to the hospital by helicopter and admitted to intensive care, while another crew member was also hospitalized. A week later, one of the cabin crew members passed away.

A spokesperson for Swiss International Air Lines stated, "It is with great sadness that we must report our young colleague passed away on Monday at the hospital in Graz."

The airline's CEO, Jens Fehlinger, said, "The death of our valued colleague has deeply affected us. On behalf of Swiss, I extend my heartfelt condolences to their family."

Initial investigations indicate that a technical failure in the engines caused the cabin and cockpit to fill with smoke. The Austrian prosecutor's office has launched an investigation into possible negligence regarding the injuries.

Oliver Buchhofer, Swiss's operations manager, stated, "This is one of the saddest days for us. Losing a colleague from the Swiss team has devastated me," and emphasized that they would investigate the causes of the incident with the relevant authorities.

This incident occurred while the investigation into the plane crash in South Korea, which claimed the lives of 179 people, is ongoing. On Sunday, a Jeju Air passenger plane crashed into a concrete wall after hitting the runway at Muan International Airport, with only two of the 181 people on board surviving.
