An Avion Express Malta Airbus A320-200 on behalf of Eurowings, registration 9H-AML performing flight EW-7887 from Rome Fiumicino (Italy) to Hamburg (Germany), had been enroute at FL360 and was in the initial descent towards Hamburg when the crew requested emergency services on standby for landing at Hamburg. The aircraft continued for a safe landing on Hamburg's runway 23 about 40 minutes later.
A frequent flyer reported there was a smell of electrical burning in the cabin for a few minutes while enroute near Frankfurt/Main (Germany), shortly afterwards the aircraft began to descend early making the passenger believe at first, they were diverting, but they continued to Hamburg. A huge amount of fire trucks and police awaited the aircraft and followed the aircraft to the stand. Firefighters checked the right hand engine and illuminated the fuselage, deboarding was delayed for some minutes. There was no information from the flight or cabin crew.
Another passenger confirmed there were no announcements from flight or cabin crew. The aircraft taxied to a remote stand amid fire engines, police cars and ambulances, the passengers needed to wait until they could disembark, fire fighters in the meantime checked the left hand engine. They finally disembarked via both forward and aft left main doors.
The subsequent rotation was cancelled.
The aircraft remained on the ground until next morning for about 13 hours.
