If they have not modified the BRU-BJM-KGL-BRU plan, then SFX has a fairly good endurance...

Hm hmmm hhhhmmmmm
A pilot and three people were on board the aircraft.
Is this implying pilots are not "people" ? :)

A pilot is always someone special

(that's what they want to hear ;-) )

Our Red Devils didn't fly "their" plane to/from Sarajevo: SNB (Tintin) to go and SNF (Tomorrowland) for the return trip.

Lucky (more or less) escape for one cargo loader

If the fire had started just minutes later, it would have caused serious on-board damage.

Interesting to see that The Aviation Herald classifies this as an "Accident" and not an "Incident", probably because the hard landing caused substantial damage to the landing gear.

This is the ICAO definition of an accident:

An accident is defined as:
An occurrence associated with the operation of an aircraft which takes place between the time any person boards the aircraft with the intention of flight until such time as all such persons have disembarked, in which:
a) a person is fatally or seriously injured as a result of:
being in the aircraft, or
direct contact with any part of the aircraft, including parts which have become detached from the aircraft, or
direct exposure to jet blast,
except when the injuries are from natural causes, self-inflicted or inflicted by other persons, or when the injuries are to stowaways hiding outside the areas normally available to the passengers and crew; or

b) the aircraft sustains damage or structural failure which:
adversely affects the structural strength, performance or flight characteristics of the aircraft, and
would normally require major repair or replacement of the affected component,
except for engine failure or damage, when the damage is limited to the engine, its cowlings or accessories; or for damage limited to propellers, wing tips, antennas, tires, brakes, fairings, small dents or puncture holes in the aircraft skin; or

c) the aircraft is missing or is completely inaccessible.


Point B is definitely the case

A rather strange PIA tweet: https://twitter.com/Official_PIA/status ... 8791596032
.
DMpm95KWAAAkW4Q.jpg
.
Which fake news ?

Some tweets that followed this picture:
Not fake news... i am the victim and witness. Moreover your poor customer service didn’t respond to complaints
An airline with torn seats, broken entertainment screens,stale food & weak air-conditioning on flight should fix itself rather than make fun
While I totally discourage #PIA to undermine itself,some overhaul is anyway needed.And B4 u upgrade your equipmnts,upgrade the mindset
Height of either ignorance or cockiness.
honestly, You are SHIT. just accept it, Corrupt administration, corrupt people, destroyed my National Airline
