German radio is reporting that a Germany charter flight for Öger Tours has slipped off the runway in Istanbul, no other details other than being an A320.:(
If it is Öger, and an A320 then its probably Bluewings, can anyone confirm?
:ugh:
edit for update:
News is now saying AtlasJet A320 that over ran on landing in bad wx and snow.:hmm:
According to radio reports it is an Atlas Jet aircraft that came from FRA. No type mentioned.
