RUNWAY CLOSED AT JAPAN'S CHUBU CENTRAIR AIRPORT AFTER OBJECT FALLS FROM DEPARTING Antonov An-124 CARGO AIRCRAFT
Operations at Chubu Centrair International Airport (NGO/RJGG), near Nagoya, Japan, were disrupted on November 10 after an unidentified object reportedly fell from a large cargo aircraft during takeoff.
According to Japanese media reports, airport authorities confirmed that an object originating from a departing cargo aircraft was found on the runway. The runway was subsequently closed to facilitate the removal of the debris.
Authorities have not yet released confirmed details regarding:
The identity and exact nature of the fallen component.
The cause of the component separation.
The duration of the operational disruption.
Further information is awaited as the situation develops.
Aviation safety reminder:
Foreign object debris (FOD) on an active runway presents a significant hazard to aircraft operations, making prompt runway inspections and debris removal essential.

Wild footage from an Emirates Boeing 777-300ER flight from Dubai (DXB) to Islamabad (ISB). A heavily intoxicated Business Class passenger physically assaulted a crew member, attempting to headbutt them.
Watch how seamlessly the cabin crew handles the threat. They immediately tackled, subdued, and restrained the individual using plastic hand-ties for the remainder of the flight before handing him over to the ASF upon landing.
Crew safety is non-negotiable. Should airlines impose stricter alcohol limits on long-haul flights? Let's discuss below 👇

(Sound up) If arriving in style gave awards, this Everts DC-6 touching down on the gravel runway at Port Alsworth (Alaska) would certainly gather some awards.

The victor of the race… abruptly came to a stop at the base
In 1934, de Havilland DH.88 Comet "Grosvenor House" made its mark in aviation by winning the speed category in the legendary MacRobertson Air Race, from England to Australia.
Several decades later, the plane met with misfortune, crashing while landing at the Old Warden Airfield in England and overturning and sustaining considerable damage.
The pilot sustained injuries yet emerged alive from the wreck.

Western Global MD-11Fs are back in business. 783SN came in from Blytheville (BYH), Arkansas. Later departed for Rzeszów and back to its Rickenbacker (LCK) base. They mostly do camber charters since they were returned to service.
