We only had a few aircraft at the time, safety wasn’t really an issue for such a specific example, we had management tossing up either stay the night or ditch the punters and return empty. We left before curfew and went back empty.
Needless to say that airline is no longer in business. Regulator was watching the carrier very closely at the time, breaching curfews wasn’t an option. No guesses to who I refer to.
