    What: Alitalia Airbus A321-100 en route from Moscow to Rome
    Where: Minsk
    When: Aug 20th 2009
    Who: 0 passengers, 6 crew
    Why: While en route to Rome, the flight lost cabin pressure. The flight descended to a safe level and landed safely at Minsk.

    George’s Point of View

    I suppose that ferry flights are an unavoidable reality of aviation; but in these days of conservation and high fuel prices, one wonders at the reasoning behind flying 1475 miles in an Airbus with 6 crew. If they’re flying in for repairs, isn’t there a danger for the crew? Is this the best possible management of vehicle, fuel, and manpower?

    No wonder Alitalia reported a $385 million loss so far this year.
