Major panic on THY plane carrying Kayserispor

Kayserispor, which will face Fenerbahçe away in the Super League tomorrow, was scheduled to fly to Istanbul for the match on a Turkish Airlines (THY) flight departing from Erkilet Airport at 15:15.

The flight, which was delayed due to weather conditions, took off at 17:00. Shortly after takeoff, the plane returned to Erkilet Airport as a precaution after being struck by lightning.

"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.
