ORANJESTAD - A Divi Divi Air aircraft made a precautionary landing in Aruba on Tuesday afternoon. 

The aircraft, with flight number 3R279, had just taken off from Reina Beatrix Airport when the pilots detected smoke in the cabin. This prompted them to abort the flight and make a precautionary landing. 

The DHC-6 ‘Twin Otter’ aircraft landed without further issues. Although firefighters were present at the scene after the landing, Germaine Durand of Divi Divi Air stated that this is standard procedure in such situations. 

The aircraft is currently being inspected before resuming flights between the islands.
