Airbus 0 Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 Rome's Ciampino airport has temporarily closed after a Ryanair flight from Frankfurt suffered "substantial damage" as it made an emergency landing. The budget airline said the plane had experienced problems after birds were sucked into the engine as it came in to land at Rome's second-largest airport. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/7719716.stm Link to post Share on other sites

Airbus 0 Posted November 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 I think Ciampino airport authorities should have taken better action to prevent this. I know its unpredictable. But airports should be alert for bird activity. Link to post Share on other sites
