A Boeing 737-8KN (WL) passenger plane, TC-TJK, sustained substantial fire damage to the cockpit at Antalya Airport (AYT), Turkey. There were 189 passengers and 7 crew on board; 27 passengers were hospitalized, with 2 serious injuries reported.
Corendon Airlines flight CAI 773 experienced smoke/fire in cockpit during push-back from the gate. The captain ordered an emergency evacuation, and the aircraft was evacuated via the emergency slides.
It is thought that the event began with an initial continuous leak of pure oxygen, this oxygen leak then spreading into the cockpit. The fire started as a result of a perfume and a burning cigarette meeting (the captain lit up a cigarette 2 min 21 s before the start of the leak). The fire then spread inside the cockpit after the captain opened the mask storage box in order to fight the fire.
