A replacement Airbus A319-100 registration D-ASTF is estimated to reach Gran Canaria with a delay of 7 hours.
The airline made a German press release stating that due to so far unknown circumstances problems arose with one of the engines prompting the captain to shut the engine down and return to Tegel. There were no injuries. The airline wrote: "Obwohl es sich bei dem betroffenen Flugzeug um eine B737-700 und dem betroffenen Triebwerk um ein CFM56-7B handelt, kann nach bisherigem Stand der Erkenntnisse mit an Sicherheit grenzender Wahrscheinlichkeit ein Bezug zum tragischen Vorfall bei Southwest Airlines ausgeschlossen werden.", translated: "Although the affected aircraft is a B737-700 and the affected engine is a CFM56-7B it can be stated according to current standing of investigation with probability bordering to certainty that any link to the tragic accident of Southwest Airlines can be ruled out. The airline initiated an investigation.
A passenger reported the aircraft was climbing through clouds when a loud bang occurred causing the aircraft to shudder. The captain subsequently announced that an engine had failed and they were returning to Tegel.
