This night another SAS Q400 had emergency landing in Vilnius (instead of Palanga). Again problems with landing gear. Right gears did not get properly fixed in position. Plane skid off runway. Passangers all ok.
Sorry, no link in english yet.

The Kaunas creature is that guy that storms the airplane to have that emergency exit seat. And when he gets it , he feels so nice . We call it Mr. Bean. I have never sat in a exit seat nor stormed a plane. But yes, I did use some tricks to get on a plane as passenger number ~70 instead of being las...

But you know, I like the idea very much. It means that smart passengers like me can travel cheap and those who are stupid or ignorant pay for their profits. You can even say that those ignorant passengers who don't read the fine print subsidize my flights.

AirBaltic uses their 737 not only for whole day with typical 30 min turnarounds, but also during night to fly to places like Tbillissi, Baku, Tel Aviv or Dublin

Lithuanian ambassy already did that. All our press has this news about Brussels airlines and also about Le Soir encyclopedia, which states that our agriculture is based on growing potatos to make vodka and other just as correct information.

Does wikipedia mention a concentration camp? Mass murder site means they were brought there, shot and buried, not kept there. There were no buildings on the site.

Lithuanian CAA: pilots made a little mistake, flight control didn't help them (didn't notify of mistake), but nothing bad happened, it's all ok. No sanctions :( :evil: :!: :?:

Is this flight actually going to be a stop on their Tallin-Brussels flight? certainly no I wonder how the loadfactor on this route will evolve, because LAL regularly comes to BRU with S2000 (not proof of very high pax numbers) and the days they do come with 737, I haven't seen more than 40 to 50 pa...

I am surprised by the phrase: Bitter tongues say that he is the first victim of NATO*.
This is some biased Russian site. As I said I do not like it. In our (Lithuanian) media there are no such remarks, but we do not have the story in English.

He hanged inside - in transit zone - in Riga that would be area between security control and gates.

I can not imagine how he managed to do that - this airport is quiet, but not empty, there are some shops and people waiting for their flights or arriving everywhere

Lithuanian airlines has lots of debts and they do not pay even airports (have a trial over this here). And new owners (after privatisation) are interested only in grabbing all assets they can by restructurization and let the airline part go bankrupt. Lots of passengers will be stranded when this hap...
