Airline fined over faulty plane
Budget airline FlyGlobeSpan, which flew a faulty jet 3,000 miles from Liverpool to New York, has been fined £5,000.
Globespan Airways Ltd pleaded guilty to using the Boeing 757 with two engine thrust indicators out of action.
Hours before the incident the crew found the failure and had to adjust the throttle with the help of another gauge and a handbook. Southwark Crown Court fined the company, which admitted two summonses under the Air Navigation Order 2005.
