A Swift Air Boeing 737-800 on behalf of Smartwings, registration N277EA performing flight QS-1147 from Rhodes (Greece) to Prague (Czech Republic) with 166 passengers and 6 crew, was on approach to Prague when the crew reported a flaps failure requiring them to land flaps up. The aircraft landed on runway 24 at a higher than normal speed (about 200 knots over ground), rolled out safely and turned off the runway via the high speed turn off about 2970 meters/9750 feet down the runway and stopped clear of the runway. Emergency services monitored and cooled the brakes using pressure ventilators.
The airport reported the crew reported a flap failure, the aircraft landed flaps up. Emergency services intervened and used overpressure ventilators to cool the brakes while thermally monitoring the brakes.
