Jet flying from Cuba to Germany forced to make two unexpected landings

Passengers on a flight from Cuba to Germany made two unexpected stops yesterday including one in Ireland where they landed for a crew change.

Air Berlin flight AB-7433 had departed Varadero, Cuba at around 4.20pm (local time) on Wednesday, bound for Dusseldorf in Germany.

Just 30 minutes after take-off, the crew of Airbus A330-200 jet declared a medical emergency over the Bahamas and diverted to Miami.
