"STRUCK BY LIGHTNING TWICE"
Kayserispor Press Spokesperson Samet Koç stated, "The plane carrying our team, Kayserispor, which is set to face Fenerbahçe, was struck by lightning twice during its flight to Istanbul. Testing processes are currently underway on the plane, which has returned to Erkilet Airport.
Our players are in good condition, and our delegation is waiting at the airport for the flight to be rescheduled. We wish our community a speedy recovery," he said.
HEALTH STATUS IS GOOD
The Kayserispor delegation waited at the airport for the plane to take off again.
It was determined that no damage occurred to the inspected aircraft.
Following this, the same plane took off again 1 hour later.
