Emergency Landing
I remember living in the Solomon Islands in 2009 and the people being proud they were getting their own plane and no more code sharing with Our Airline.
I love it how the Solomon Star weren't sure on passenger numbers
A Solomon Airlines operated flight from Honiara to Brisbane was forced to turn back half-way through the flight after the aircraft developed mechanical faults mid-air yesterday afternoon.
The airbus was leased by Solomon from by Strategic Airlines.
It was difficult to verify whether the Strategic airbus was the A330-300 which can carry about 287 passengers or the A320-200 which can take only 156 passengers.
This particular aircraft had been developing mechanical faults in the past weeks during routine flights during its Brisbane – Honiara – Brisbane flight according to eye witnesses.
