A Condor Boeing 757-300, registration D-ABOK performing flight DE-5747 from Antalya (Turkey) to Munich (Germany), completed the flight with a safe landing on Munich's runway 26L.

The odour re-occurred shortly before and during landing causing minor eye irritation to cabin crew. The flight crew did not notice any odour. There were no reactions from the passengers. Procedures established by the airline require all crew to undergo a medical checkup in such cases of odour. The occurrence was reported to the BFU, the aircraft underwent tests in Munich that did not identify any anomaly and returned to service the following day.

The cleaning agent used contains chlorine and develops an acid smell.
