[samh004]

Just saw on 9 news that there's been a Lion Air crash in Bali, but can't see anything online yet, anyone have any info?

Not looking great, Runway overrun. But hopefully no causalities.

Lion Air Crash in Bali

All survived apparently. Must be sat on something as I can't imagine they float.

It's not a great airport. The runway isn't that long. But great effort on getting everyone out safely.

It's long enough, bumpy, but long enough.
It's 747 rated

 

[Must...Fly!]

Hooray, another lionair hull loss.

Anyone who was wondering why they ordered so many planes recently now has the reason!

I sure hope so! I've been on a few 747s there including Qantas and Cathay Pacific.

This plane will now be prime for a wet lease!

Only commenting to my wife last night in the Premier lounge (which has a very good view of that end of the runway) at DPS about how easy it would be for a plane to end up in the drink. Might try to keep those thoughts to myself in the future.

From reports the plane was a 737-800 registered as PK-LKS and was delivered 2 months. It flew for a month under Malindo Air before being returned to its parent Lion air. A domestic flight from Bandung to DPS.

The sixth hull loss since 2002? - Aviation Safety Network > ASN Aviation Safety Database > Operator index > Indonesia > Lion Airlines

One wonders if this will have ramifications for the big order for jets recently announced. If Lion lose their licence to fly, where are they going to go?

They'll go To "Lyon Air" which will start flying two days after "Lion Air" is shut down.

The aircraft may not have made it onto the runway at all: ASN Aircraft accident Boeing 737-8GP (WL) PK-LKS ? Denpasar-Ngurah Rai Bali International Airport (DPS)

According to the Ministry of Transportation, the airplane came down in the water just short of the runway while on final approach. Initial media reports indicated that the plane overran the runway on landing.

Says as much about the corruption and incompetence of the authorities as it does about Lion
