A common theme

When the 188 passengers boarded the charter plane in Antalya (Turkey) to return to Iceland, on 27 Oct 2007, they did not know that their airplane would experience a serious safety incident ending up beside the runway of Keflavik airport. Pilot fatigue and inadequate in-flight rest facilities were key factors contributing to this incident which luckily left all on board unharmed according to the recently published Incident Report. The report makes several safety recommendations addressed to the EU Institutions. Regrettably, these recommendations are likely to slip off the runway too, when attempting to land on the Brussels Institutions' slippery political ground.

From the report-
JetX management sold the subcharter to carry a full load of a 189 passengers for an aircraft that was configured to carry a 186 passengers. Thus making the crew rest unavailable.
Gold.
