Airlines.....

A jetliner was forced to pull out of a landing at Sao Paulo's Congonhas airport yesterday as new footage emerged of the Airbus 320 that crashed earlier in the week, showing the aircraft travelling along the runway at more than three times the usual landing speed.

Security video footage appeared to show the aircraft hurtling down the runway in just three seconds. Video footage of a similar aircraft landing just minutes beforehand showed the plane taking more than 10 seconds to complete the length of the 1,900m runaway.

More than 180 people were killed when the flight careered off the runway and burst into flames after hitting buildings at the northern end of the airport.
