CAA rejects StarLux CEO to ban Airbus A330 from Taipei Songshan Airport

The Civil Aeronautics Administration (CAA) on Saturday July 4 has rejected a demand from StarLux Airlines to ban Airbus A330 from Taipei Songshan Airport due to short runway. On July 3, a China Airlines Airbus A330 lost Speed Brakes and Thrust Reverse causing the aircraft to come to a stop 10 meters from the end of the runway. The CAA argue that the 8,500 feet long runway is sufficient enough to handle these situations. (www.taiwannews.com.tw) Más...
