On Monday night, at the Talahasi International Airport, he briefly closed the “emergency landing” of the charter of the Armed Services members briefly closed the airport runway and encouraged one flight to the Texas Airport.
Flight passengers, directed to the capital of Florida, were trapped while flying a hotel or spent a night on the floor or in a firm chair at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport after they could land in Talahasi.
A few minutes before the landing, which was supposed to take place on August 11 at about 10 pm, Talahassee was informed that both carpet and landing paths had been closed for landing, and he had to turn around, said passenger John Matthews. The pilot went through the Domophone and said, “Ladies and gentlemen, Talahasio Airport closed.”
The plane was forced to make a three -and -a -half -hour trip to Texas Airport and entered midnight, Matthews said: “It was incredible.”

Without an official airport officials in social media or otherwise, reports of fire trucks and paramedics on the runway dance around social media. One person announced that the incident occurred because a booked flight full of military personnel returning from a month in Stint in California was inappropriate at the time of landing.
Deputy Director of Aviation Vanessa Spaulading confirmed this account in an interview with Talahasi Democrat. Spaulding said the final goal of Charter Flight was to be Talahasee, but about 9 p.m. The pilots who transport members of the National Guard called them asking for an “urgent landing” due to a plane, which is experiencing hydraulic questions.
She said the airport immediately coordinated and was in close contact with her airline partners. From there, the airline is believed to communicate with its passengers.
“That’s what we do, we handle such things and everyday directions,” she said. “We are taught for that; our team exclusively conducted training … I think our team did an exceptional job. This was an extremely positive answer to our team.”
But passengers said they were in the dark.
When they landed in Texas, Matthews said the airline blamed the Talahasi International Airport for mixing up and would not submit them to the coupons food or hostel, so they had to pay out of his pocket.
“The hotel here at the airport costs $ 400 per night, so I said that I was excited and brought Uber to Motel 6,” Matthews said.
Matthews said that he thought the Talahasi International Airport was “a bit explained” because “it didn’t seem that no one knew what was going on.”
Later, the passengers learned that the construction had closed one carpet and landing trail, and the second was closed because the disabled plane was stuck on the asphalt.
Tuesday at 10:40 p.m. Almost 80 people were still waiting in Texas to return to Talahasi after a long night of insomnia. Matthews said they were given little information about what had happened and that the pilots and flight attendants went without word.

The runway was cleaned in about an hour and a half, said color, and no one was injured. “Although passengers were unfortunate and awkward, the good news is that the plane landed safely for 181 passengers and crew. We are very proud of our team’s response.”
The social media passenger wrote that the outskirts had made a “heavier than normal landing” and that they “almost left the runway and ran to the perpendicular to the runway of other aircraft.”
He said the plane was sitting on the runway for more than two hours and had not been explained by an hour of an hour when the pilots told them that the tires had to move and had to cool. “A long night, but everything is fine,” he wrote.
Before the details of the “emergency landing” information, Drew Fire of Florida, a former Talahasi Democratic publisher Skip Foster, who is now head of a public relations company, Hammerhead Communications, is a site.
The blog website that does not disclose its customers was a consistent airport critic in the mission of “good, bad and ugly” bureaucracy in Florida.
“You may think that the airport with 58 employees working full-time and $ 19 million budget could tell the public what’s going on,” the Bureaucratic part of Florida said. “You would go wrong.”
