A Lufthansa passenger airplane flying was diverted after a passenger's powerbank caught fire on board, the airline said.

The aircraft was flying from Frankfurt to Lisbon and was ultimately diverted to the French city of Lyon, where it landed safely at around 10 p.m. (20:00 UTC) on Saturday evening, the German flag carrier said.

The 198 passengers and six crew members on board the flight were put up in hotels for the night and rebooked onto alternative connections to Lisbon the following day.
