Air France Flight Diverts Back to Paris Due to Lost Passenger Phone
A Boeing 777-300ER, carrying 375 passengers and crew, returned to Orly Airport after a phone could not be located.
An Air France Boeing 777-300ER operating flight AF750 was forced to divert and land back at Orly Airport shortly after takeoff due to the loss of a passenger's mobile phone.
The aircraft departed Charles de Gaulle Airport at 11:51 AM, carrying a total of 375 passengers and 12 crew members.
After departing, the crew initiated a search for the lost phone, which was not found despite a thorough cabin search.
The inability to locate the device raised potential safety concerns, as there is a risk associated with overheating or the phone becoming lodged in inaccessible areas of the cabin.
As a result, the flight circled at an altitude of 31,000 feet for approximately one hour near the French coast before making the decision to return to the airport.
Air France flight AF750 safely landed on runway 06 at Orly Airport at 2:06 PM, just over two hours after its departure.
Technical teams from Air France are currently working to locate the missing phone in order to prepare the aircraft for its rescheduled departure to its intended destination, Pointe-à-Pitre.
While incidents involving lost electronic devices are not common, they underscore the strict safety protocols in place concerning electronic equipment that may pose a risk to flight safety.
