Gulf Air 330 into Cyprus
Does anyone have any details on the Gulf Air 330 landing in Cyprus as reported in the Gulf Daily News. I find it hard to believe that GF would divert into Cyprus because of a simple engine failure. I thought they had a policy of continue onto destination no matter what the mechanical difficulties ? For eg. 330 ISB to AUH or 340 BKK to BAH .
Or on this occasion did they actually complete the ECAM actions checklist and chose the nearest suitable airport that wasn't 900 plus NM away.
