Keyser Jul 9, 12, 4:29 am kudos to pakistan for issuing transit visas....^^ jasepl Jul 9, 12, 5:45 am What's the capacity of the 319s? 130 seems like it was full.

It was a false alert by the computer system. I wonder if it was a software glitch or a baf snsor.

The exact number depends on configuration chosen by the airline. I have seating capacity between 108 (large business cabin) and 156 (one class). A three class configuration could accomodate fewer people. In any case 130 (don't know where the number came from), would be at least 90% of full capacity. P.S. I don't expect such an imprecise question fom a frequent flyer. ;) Yaatri Jul 9, 12, 10:07 am Wirelessly posted (Samsung Galaxy S: Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 2.3.6; en-us; SGH-T959V Build/GINGERBREAD) AppleWebKit/533.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Mobile Safari/533.1) kudos to pakistan for issuing transit visas....^^ Indeed, in contrast to the 1969 hijacking of Indian Airlines Fokker and setting it ablaze, in Lahore. The hijacker was given a heroe's welcome all over Pakistan. SpeedFreak Jul 9, 12, 2:02 pm The aircraft in question is vt-SCG capacity 8j + 114y. That's 122 pax plus 6 crew minimum. So 128 total not including infants or extra crew. oliver2002 Jul 9, 12, 2:08 pm Single system failure, normal landing, lotsa media hype: http://avherald.com/h?article=452665bf&opt=0 DELANRDFW Jul 9, 12, 3:27 pm Single system failure, normal landing, lotsa media hype: http://avherald.com/h?article=452665bf&opt=0 Media hype only due to emergency landing in PAKISTAN, any other country just a blip on news radar. oliver2002 Jul 10, 12, 12:48 am The comments in the TOI online article make me just shake my head...:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::ro lleyes: |
