“Ladies and gentlemen, this is the captain speaking. Unfortunately, due to a very minor technical problem, we have to turn back to Budapest, as there is no mechanic at our destination, Târgu Mures, and we would be stuck there. The problem itself is not significant, but we have to return to Budapest, we will be landing in about 15 minutes and once we have landed I will inform you of the further developments. In the meantime, we apologise and thank you for your understanding,”
