What: Corendon Airlines Boeing 737-400 en route from Amsterdam to Ankara
Where: Amsterdam
When: Mar 2nd 2010
Who: 101 passengers
Why: Passengers got a big surprise when this jet was readying for departure and the cockpit was stormed by police. Okay this may be something of an exaggeration; I don’t know if it was stormed; but at any rate, the pilot was removed from the cockpit for flying with a license…that expired 13 years ago. I don’t know how the Swedish found out, but the Swedish told the Dutch who told Turkish Civil aviation who promptly took action. Fortunately, someone had an alternative pilot to handle the flight.
