The aircraft remained on the ground in Milan for about 90 minutes, then departed again and reached Dalaman with a delay of 3.5 hours.
The airline confirmed a technical issue with the oxygen masks for cabin crew, the aircraft diverted to Milan Malpensa as a precaution to have the cabin crew oxygen masks reset.
Passengers reported they didn't find the occurrence funny at first but now see the lighter side of it. The cork hit the cabin ceiling damaging a number of panels and prompting a number of oxygen masks over cabin crew seats at the back of the cabin to be released.
