Plane Afraid in Spain

Where: Spain
June 13, 2007 at 11:16 AM | by | Comments (0)

Spanish LCC Vueling Airlines got its passengers a bit nervous this week on a Lisbon to Madrid flight. On one side of the plane, 29 rows were taped off and unable to be used, leaving just 3 rows of people on the other side.

The reason was simple: "a safety problem with the door at the front". Oh, only a safety problem. Nothing to worry about then. Apparently aviation regulations do allow such aircraft to fly when there is a problem with one door, as long as passenger capacity is adjusted appropriately. But not a way we'd especially like to travel.
