Boeing 737 makes a dangerous emergency landing at BER – fire brigade on duty!
An exciting Sunday evening at Berlin-Brandenburg Airport (BER): On July 20, 2025, a Boeing 737-800 from the low-cost airline Ajet, also known as the former AnadoluJet, caused a lot of excitement. The plane, which had just arrived from Ankara, reported hydraulic problems on approach, more specifically with the flap system. This led to rapid deployment of the airport fire department and several local fire departments from Schönefeld and the Dahme-Spreewald district, which went on alert.
The fire brigade was alerted shortly after 6 p.m. and moved in with extinguishing and setting vehicles to be prepared for a possible incident during landing. After the plane had broken off its first landing attempt, it turned a loop over the capital to make sure that everything was fine before it started landing again. In the second attempt, the machine finally landed successfully and without injuries - all 164 passengers were able to take a deep breath.
Large fire brigade mission
“It was really a big operation,” said a spokesman for the airport fire department. The emergency services were positioned along the runway so that they could intervene directly in an emergency. Fortunately, everything remained calm and the Boeing 737-800 with registration TC-JFP was able to land safely on the tarmac. After a four-hour delay, the plane was able to take off again for Ankara later in the evening.
Overall, this incident shows once again how important a well -prepared fire brigade is at the airport in order to be able to react quickly in critical situations. The entire crew of the Boeing and the emergency services have once again proven that they have a good knack in dealing with such challenges. The passengers were able to continue their journey with a queasy feeling, but without serious impairments.
