@EBAW/ANR: (minor) incident on the runway which is now blocked for all traffic
Re: Trivia 2018 (miscellaneous news)
What happened ?
Re: Trivia 2018 (miscellaneous news)
Rejected take-off by a small plane and stuck on the rwy due to some technical issue. Problem solved and rwy open again. Was closed for half an hour max., only 1 training flight had to hold for a while, so almost no operational impact. The TUIFly E190 luckily landed just before the troublesome take off attempt.

So, a standard missed approach on a Qantas (note the lack of the letter U) flight is now World News?
Strange to not see every major airport mentioned on ABC’s World News feed every single day.

Re: Trivia 2018 (miscellaneous news)
ABC wasn’t even able to get the name of the airline correct, if you check their tweet.
They may have changed it by now, I can’t be arsed to check, but it does paint a picture about them.

Ah, sorry, I read you the other way around. "sic!" is the usual expression, in such a case
But good to see I am not the only one to watch language and spelling with a critical eye...
And yes, we all know how reliable the media are, these days. Sad, very sad.

Well why not... If there are never any failures&incidents in your company, no (human) resource problems at all, no organisational problems, no budget problems and you are heavily involved in marketing and name-branding, why should you not invest time and money to make a name change! It's a matter of knowing your priorities!
