    Spanair Bailout

    Spanair is the recipient of $27.5 million Catalonian government bailout, supplemented by more capital by investors, possibly in violation of European Union state aid regulations. Competing carriers are up in arms over public funds being used to prop up an airline which is being described as being on the brink of collapse. Spanair’s spokespeople deny that Spanair is on the brink of collapse, claiming high numbers of passenger growth. In January, la Generalitat (Catalan’s regional government) called the loan as “an emergency credit.”

    Footnote to Fly Safely Thru Turbulence and Rogue Electrics

    Politicians aren’t aviation news, but…

    Air Force One pilot aborted his first landing in Toledo, Ohio, due to hairy conditions on Wednesday. Plus we hear the flight had experienced turbulence.

    And Ann Romney’s plane filled up with smoke after an electrical fire. Safe landing there too.

    Good call on firing the TSA Agent who nabbed a passenger’s stolen ipad (including the 380 theft-related TSA firings that didn’t make the news.)

    No jokes about the safety incidents. We’re glad the superlative pilots flying both planes brought everyone home safely.
