Accident at LBA

Airport now as normal.

An LTE postioned in to operate the FUE flight this afternoon, bet the airport was on its guard, two LTE a/c in at once!
LTE907 ARRECIFE 1310 DEPARTED 13:16
LTE377 FUERTEVENTURA 1330 GATE CLOSED

Also apparantly had a FlyBe 733 operating for AEU this morning,you would think that FlyBe would need them!

We have LTE in again tomorrow..

LTE906 ARRECIFE 1210

Everyone will be on guard for that one!

And despite people saying only the smaller a/c could get in, the BY 767 touched down no probs tonight..
BY213B MAHON 2125 LANDED 20:57

I wonder when the poor people due on the Jordinian A320 will get out to FUE on their holidays? Still says this on the departure board…

LTE377 FUERTEVENTURA 1330 DELAYED

And the Airports view – from the website…

At 12.43 local time a Jordanian registered Airbus A320 LTE from Fuertaventura landed at Leeds Bradford International Airport.

The aircraft experienced difficulties on landing and came to rest at the end of the runway.

Of the 171 passengers and 7 crew on board there were no injuries.

The incident was attended immediately by the Airport’s Rescue and Fire Fighting Services supported by the local emergency services.

The passengers and crew were disembarked using aircraft steps and coached back to the terminal building. Passengers are now making their way home.

The airport resumed flying operations at 14.15.

The Air Accident Investigation Branch (AAIB) will be investigating this incident. We will not be able to remove the aircraft from its current position until the AAIB have given their authority to do so.

The Airport is unable to comment on any aspects of the technical operation of the aircraft, which is the subject of the AAIB investigation.

There has been some interruption to services at LBIA it is hoped that full operations will be resumed as soon as possible.

Its going to cause some problems!

I guess that the A320 is going to be moved tomorrow afternoon then.

Nothing that an airbag and a tug can’t sort out….. 😉

Here are some better pics, courtesy of M Benson.

Was operating for Direct Holidays, dont know what other tour operators where on the flight. Replacement aircraft *might* be comming in from Athens.

This is the best pic i can find at the moment.

LOL , hardly a crash 😉

Sandy – Keep us posted 🙂

I sure will 😉

Jordan Aviation….

Does appear to be back to normal, the bmi to LHR is now on final call.

They’ve crashed a plane at Leeds.

Sorry 😮 :p

Sandy – Keep us posted 🙂

Whats happened with Jordan Aviation?

Got a feeling the airport is now open again,

LS231 BARCELONA 1335 *FINAL CALL – GO TO GATE*
BD405 EDINBURGH 1440 *BOARDING – GO TO GATE*

Hope it is, will clear some of the backlog.

Just be glad a B762 pax load wasnt awaiting their flight!

Well, I’m talking to them currently.
need I say more? not that I will.

Interesting that it isnt an LTE aircraft at all, is JY-JAR, of Jordan Aviation.

Oh gee… hope its not too badly damaged!
