Lack of fuel forces Qantas jet to land in heavy fog
From News: Lack of fuel forces Qantas jet to land in heavy fog | NEWS.com.au
Quote:
A QANTAS international flight was forced to land in heavy fog in Perth because the plane didn't have enough fuel to fly to a safer location, an investigation has found.
The Australian Transport Safety Bureau said Qantas’s fuel policy did not allow for pilots to land in a different runway if conditions were dangerous at Perth Airport.
