Amsterdam plane crash: Turkish airplane ran out of Fuel

February 25th, 2009 | Author: Martijn Benders

According to Turkish News sources that cite acting Mayor Michel Bezuijen of the Haarlemmermeer municipality, the turkish airliner that just crashed in Amsterdam crashed because it ran out of fuel.

9 people died and about 50 were seriously injured. Ran out of fuel? On a routine trip from Istanbul to Amsterdam? If this is true it proves that the Airline industry are taking dangerous measures just to survive the current economic conditions: just try to fly with less gas, mr pilot.

Shouldnt there be some sort of control on planes that they have enough fuel for the journey before they leave? It’s a strange story, and it effects me because I often fly with Turkish Airlines.

    Sorry, but a don’t believe that story, because they most have at least fuel enough for an extra 30 minutes flying. When the plane was running out of fuel than their most be a technical explanation for that.
    Of course the company try to safe money, but not with dangerous risks.

    ALL AIRCRAFT MUST have enough fuel on board to make it to their destination, hold above the airport for at least 45 minutes, fly to another airport and hold for at least 45 minutes before landing….

    If the plan did run out of fuel, it would be because of a technical problem

    Yeah the fuel angle as reported in Turkish media turns out to be nonsense.
    Turkish media are full of nonsense. Now they say that it was caused by turbulence from another plane.
