A Maritime Rescue plane landed this Tuesday afternoon at the Lanzarote airport after suffering an emergency when one of the two turbo-prop engines it has stopped. The crew, which was flying over the Atlantic between the Archipelago and the Sahara, managed to land without major problems.
The incident occurred around half past seven in the afternoon when the aircraft was east of the island of volcanoes.
