Delay compensated: Condor returned from Canary Islands in record time

class=”sc-29f61514-0 fQbOYE”>

Actually, there is nothing else to do. Condor flight DE1453 from Fuerteventura to Stuttgart (D) was hopelessly delayed. Passengers are threatened with being forced to abandon the plane and spend another night on Canary Island. Because: As reported by the aviation portal Aerotelegraph.com, Stuttgart Airport has a strict regime.

Jet planes are only allowed to land here until 23:30. There is an exception for delayed flights. They are allowed to fly in and out of the airport until midnight. But even that felt unrealistic to the flight crew – it was carried out for Condor by the Bulgarian Air Association. Because the Airbus A320 had already landed in Fuerteventura 40 minutes late.

Get off the tower at the last minute!

It was supposed to start again at 7:30pm. towards Germany. Did you get there on time? An impossibility. Then suddenly there is a brief exit from the tower! The holiday flight can still take off at 7:11 PM. It is clear to everyone: there will be a tight squeeze.

But then suddenly it goes fast. As the airline will explain later, the pilot takes advantage of “weather and especially wind conditions from the Canary Islands to Germany”. It lands in Stuttgart at 23:34. And it set a new record with 3 hours and 23 minutes. The flights otherwise took between 4 hours 11 minutes and 3 hours 25 minutes, according to Aerotelegraph. (be)
