German govt plane crash lands, disrupts airport trafficBy The Manila TimesBERLIN: A German government plane crash-landed on Tuesday, briefly disrupting traffic at Berlin’s Schoenefeld airport, in the latest of a series of technical faults to plague the official fleet. The aircraft experienced technical problems soon after takeoff and then had serious trouble landing at the Berlin airport. After the incident, Schoenefeld announced at 0730 GMT that flight schedules had been suspended and approaching planes were diverted to Berlin’s other airport, Tegel, northwest of the city centre. In March, the foreign minister was stranded in Mali due to a hydraulic problem with his Airbus A319’s landing gear. The plane woes have also hit other top German officials.
