Here’s a few airline and aviation news stories that caught my eye recently :
Thomson flight from Glasgow to Corfu ends up with a 42 hour total trip duration including delays, diversions and a night in Athens. More at The Scotsman. I like some of the comments on this story.
Over in the U S of A the flight crew of an NWA flight from San Diego to Minneapolis managed to fly over their destination by over 250 kilometres before they got back on course and landed an hour late. Air Traffic Control couldn’t contact them sparking hijack fears. The pilots said they were “distracted”.
