A KLM flight to Curaçao became an 11-hour flight to nowhere after a power bank reportedly belonging to the airline’s former CEO exploded while being charged onboard.
KLM Flight 735 departed Amsterdam (AMS) for Curaçao (CUR) on Thursday with 322 passengers onboard. About 5.5 hours into the journey, while the aircraft was over the Atlantic Ocean, a power bank reportedly exploded and caught fire inside the cabin.
The power bank was being used by KLM´s former CEO and President, Mr. Camiel Eurlings, who was injured in the incident.
