Flydubai CEO defends landing decision day after crash
Dubai
FLYDUBAI'S top executive said conditions for landing were appropriate when one of its flights crashed at a windy airport in southern Russia, even though three other carriers rerouted flights to other destinations.
"As far as the operation of the flight, the airport was open, it was good enough to operate and it was good enough to land, as per the authorities," Ghaith Al Ghaith, chief executive officer of the Middle Eastern budget carrier, told reporters on Sunday at a press conference in Dubai.
