A Transavia Boeing 737-800, performing flight from Malaga (Spain) to Rotterdam (Netherlands), experienced flaps problem.

Aircraft was on final approach to Rotterdam’s runway when the crew initiated a go around reporting a flaps problem. The crew subsequently decided to divert to Amsterdam (Netherlands). The crew declared emergency reporting the flaps were not responding, they needed to perform a flaps up landing.

The aircraft landed safely on Amsterdam’s runway at a higher than normal speed about 30 minutes later.
