Air France cited a "technical incident" as the reason for the emergency landing. Passengers on the Paris-Ajaccio flight interviewed by RTL admitted that at one point they heard a loud bang and felt a strong shaking. A passenger named Christelle stated that she saw a burning wing of the plane through the window.

Another passenger named Steven recounted that the incident happened when the plane was flying near the city of Clermont-Ferrand. "We were like sardines in a can; we had no control over the situation, we didn’t know what would happen," noted another passenger on the flight. She also mentioned that people on board began to panic.

According to a statement from Air France, after the "technical incident," the company chartered another plane to Bastia, which departed from Lyon airport at 9:45 PM local time.
