Air Algerie B737 off the runway at LYS
Reports coming through that an Air Algerie 737 has overrun at Lyons following an aborted take off. Pax evacuated via slides and runway closed. No injuries.

Isn't this the second Air Algerie 737 to overrun at LYS this year? To lose one 737 is unfortunate, to lose two is careless! :)
|
Anyone got anymore details? i.e. Is it broken?
|
Described as "front and right gear failures" - not sure if they collapsed or if there was a multiple tyreburst or what...
|
It ain't a 737 chaps.

Not a B737 Konkordski......so what is it???
A310/B767/B727 - cant think what else they operate! [ 21 August 2001: Message edited by: flugpants ] |
Kokordski. Are you saying it used to be a 737 but now it's a lot of little bits?
Hang on. Just been told it's an A-310. [ 21 August 2001: Message edited by: Onions ] |
Onions knows his, er, onions.

Isn't it one of the two ex BCal A310-200s that were sold to Libya in the mid 80s by a company called Cobra, registered in Hong Kong, in breach of sanctions imposed by the UK following the shooting of WPC Yvonne Fletcher?
I believe that they still belong to Libyan Arab - they were leased to Air Algerie as the Colonel realised that in the wake of the Lockerbie sanctions he asn't going anywhere with them! Surprised he hasn't asked for them back, though... |
Anyway boy's and girls, Is it bust?
