Kadhdhoo Airport operations suspended due to fault in fire truck

Laamu Kadhdhoo airport operations have been brought to a halt due to a fault in the airport’s fire truck.

Ahmed Ali, who is currently in charge of Kadhdhoo Airport told Sun Online that the fire truck had failed to start this morning and that it has not been possible to have any airplane land at the airport since 9:30am.

“We only have one fire truck. The truck has failed to start, so operations have been suspended,” said Ahmed Ali.

He said that while truck repair efforts are under way, they do not have some of the equipment required to repair the truck and that these equipment will soon be brought to the airport. He predicts that they will be able to resume airport operations by 8:00pm tonight. He also said that they had to suspend operations yesterday as well, due to the same problem.

Aviation law prohibits airplanes from landing at an airport without the presence operational fire truck. Airlines are facing difficulties due to having to suspend operations following such problems.
