A couple of days ago an Air Malta flight declared a pan, because of low fuel, at LBA. LBA was its destination and diversion airfields were readily availible. It has the feeling of a queue jumping exercise as the weather had just improved from Cat 3. Does anyone know more? If it was just to ensure arrival at destination is there likely to be any investigation into the incident. Is it considered correct to declare a pan just to avoid a diversion?
