Talk:British Airways Flight 149
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Stop in Kuwait
According to the wiki article the stop was scheduled. However the link to the BBC news article clearly says the stop was unscheduled.
I think it was scheduled, as I think BA used to fly LHR-KWI-MAA-KUL around that time. What is the source for the timing, though? I mean the fact if the aircraft landed before or after the invasion began, since I've been reading contradicting sources. FlyerBoy
The court actions could not have been succesful (presumably) if the flight had landed before the occupation, but I don't understand why 1. Air Traffic control at Kuwait would let it land 2. BA surely would not want to land there if Kuwait was invaded (could have diverted to Bahrain or Doha) 3. Why would the captain of the aircraft go along with a plan is is the captain's decision to land the plane in a certain place
