A Sun Express Boeing 737-800, registration TC-SEK performing flight XQ-997 from Munich (Germany) to Izmir (Turkey), was climbing out of Munich's runway 26L when the crew requested to level off at FL100 reporting they had an unusual voice on their ACARS. The crew subsequently decided to return to Munich where the aircraft landed safely on runway 26L about 30 minutes after departure.

The aircraft remained on the ground in Munich for about 4 hours, then departed again, maintained a maximum cruise level of FL230 and reached Izmir with a delay of about 7 hours. The aircraft subsequently positioned to Antalya (Turkey) as flight XQ-9190, remained on the ground in Antalya for about 7.5 hours, then returned to service climbing to FL370.
