Re: Serene Air
Royal airport services should pay for all the Damages and insurance. This is a massive blow to the Airline's repute and operations.

Re: Serene Air
Incredible pictures. Unprofessionalism at all levels. I honestly wonder how much training do the ground handling staff get and do they have an ongoing system of training and evaluation to ensure bad practices have not crept in. Equally, there is a question mark on how well the equipment is maintained.

Re: Serene Air
The unfortunate aircraft is Serene Air's brand new Boeing 737-86X registration AP-BNA that had landed in Islamabad today at 10:04 AM as flight ER-500 from Karachi.

Will Serene Air now have to suspend flights operation in the absence of at least three airworthy aircraft registered in Pakistan required by National Aviation Policy for operation of scheduled passenger flights on domestic routes?

Re: Serene Air
Looks fishy considering where the tow truck hit the plane
What was it doing there? Need more details. Good enough to wear a tin foiled hat and suggest theories regarding what happened.

Re: Serene Air
Wonder if the tow bar broke or became detached (assuming the aircraft was under tow or being pushed back).

Re: Serene Air
Seems the incident happened when the aircraft was getting pushed back as Karachi-bound flight ER-501.

Re: Serene Air
A friend quoting someone at the incident site told that the aircraft on arrival was being 'towed in' to parking stand while the engines were running. (question is why, should the a/c not taxi to the stand on own power). Once at stand, the tug stopped but the a/ continued (due to momentum?) resulting in tow bar jack knifing,

Re: Serene Air
Very sad indeed. Looks deliberate act to me. This act should also be investigated as an act of inflicting damage with Malicious intent. This early losses for Airline for a newly incepted Airline have far reaching financial effect.Hamad wrote: ↑Mon Feb 06, 2017 6:59 am Just have been shocked to see what happened to a brand new Aircraft today - posted on Facebook in Plane Spotters Pakistan Group.
