Its probably a typo (they do happen on occasion)... avherald is a pretty respectable website. Been corrected now.

I have flown the route on a regular basis for the past ten years and never had a problem, CAT can happen anywhere.

It's the medias job to report accurately. Why put the rego in if you can't get it right? It adds nothing to the article.
