Michal Dargacz, the Gdansk airport spokesman, told Polish TVN24 channel that due to low visibility in Gdansk Lufthansa decided to divert the airplane to Warsaw
At 6 PM local time (4 PM GMT) it landed safely at Warsaw's Chopin airport.
Commenting on what they called the airplane's strange behavior, Twitter users noted that Lufthansa "blows on cold water" following the deadly crash of another German passenger jet.
Widać jak Lufthansa dmucha na zimne #LH1644

As the Embraer was circling above Gdansk, two other airlines' planes safely landed there.
