A Boeing 767 cargo declared an emergency over Germany.
United Parcel Service flight 5X273 departed Warsaw, Poland yesterday night at 21:03 CET to Cologne freight hub in Germany.
The Boeing 767-300ERF (registered N308UP) was cruising at 34,000 feet when the crew declared an emergency (squawk 7700). The aircraft started its descent at 22:15 CET to CGN Airport.
The aircraft landed safely at 22:41 CET on runway 13L then taxied to the freight area of the airport.
For nearly four decades, Cologne/Bonn Airport has served as the nerve center of UPS’s European air-cargo operations. Since establishing its hub there in 1986, UPS’s Cologne facility has grown into one of the largest and most sophisticated air freight and parcel-sorting hubs on the continent, a cornerstone of Europe’s logistics infrastructure and a critical link in global supply chains.
