An Aerobus Aerobus plane, which was heading from Miami to Mérida, was diverted emergency to Havana.
According to the first reports, after a failure in one of its engines, Viva Aerobus’s plane was diverted to José Martí airport in Havana, Cuba.
User Ricardo Pérez Solís claimed the airline in social networks. “I am in Cuba for your engine failures on the VB755 flight plane, leaving Miami to Mérida; they tell us absolutely anything, horrible experience.
“If you can help us with some waters, at least, no? And with information; we are spending heat, hunger and much uncertainty and fear.”
The Viva Aerobús airline responded to the user to attend the emergency by sending a plane to Havana. “Thank you for the fact, Ricardo. Do not worry, a plane is already on the way to Havana, courtesies will be provided on board during your flight back to Mérida. We were attentive to any other doubt,” the airline replied. Emanuel Vilchis, another user, reported that an emergency landing was recorded with a single engine and even called his relatives to say goodbye to how complicated the landing was. The airline said the route diversion was due to an indication of low oil pressure in the engine. “The deviation was carried out following the established security protocols, prioritizing at all times the integrity of the passengers and the crew.” All passengers are well, have been informed and are being served in the last wait room (SUE) of the airport, where they were also provided with food and the necessary assistance during their wait in Havana, “the company said in a statement.
