last night was terrible: when I was talking to one of the passengers ill-fated flight from Sheremetyevo, which ended in Kaliningrad airport nose in the snow, I heard the shaking of his voice. I would be even more shaking. And I’m still surprised how he’s still sober. This is what hardness it is necessary to have or to what extent hate alcohol not to get drunk after your plane actually landed without landing gear and you have left the Board at the slide. “Congratulate us – we were born the second time,” – said the other passengers on that flight and hugged each other.
So it was yesterday. And today was funny. After several times postponed the start time of the Kaliningrad airport. Postponed due to the fact that they could not release Vzletka from the hard landing and knowlege nose to the ground, Airbus. So that there could not, still can’t. According to the acting Governor, who took the case under his personal control, but needs to fit a super-tractor of the Baltic fleet, which should move the aircraft from a dead stop (there is information that not one, but four tractor). Because of the special technique which needs to be in airports in the event of such an emergency, “Khrabrovo” is not provided.
“Khrabrovo” in General, is not much provided. Now at the airport, which for several years now resembles a rather capacious barn, which for variety of dust collectors are sold with amber, languishing a few dozen passengers who still hope to leave today at Moscow or Peter. This, incidentally, optimists. Pessimists have already left for their hotels, because they are not sure that the Prime mover of the Baltic fleet can handle it. And he could not cope – neither today, nor tomorrow, because of “Khrabrovo” for several years (eight exactly) hanging some kind of curse. This airport is a visiting card of Kaliningrad region – can not be repaired. Change owners, change contractors, but repairs are ongoing, arriving passengers continue to jump through puddles on the boards, and meet to walk to the terminal ankle-deep in water. And yesterday passengers, survived several nightmarish minutes, had to and did wander through the s nowy Vzletka.
Meanwhile, from the scene. The opening of the airport was moved from 12 to 14:00 local time. Nothing has changed. Don’t know when and how to get out of here. Trading 4 hour expectations. Imagine how people who were supposed to fly at 6 in the morning

Pair years ago, I wrote about the fact that Joe Cocker died waiting for the reconstruction of Khrabrovo. The singer had performed there, on the concrete field of the Kaliningrad airport, on the spot where subsequently there is a Parking space, in fact, before the renovation in 2006. Ten years later, Cocker not with us, and in “Khrabrovo” is still far from the end of reconstruction. The airport seems to be going to open to the world football championship 2018. But I’m not sure what will happen. I think that the championship still is held, the teams will play at the new stadium, but in “Khrabrovo” everything will remain the same. Is that round dome again bear to not resemble the Reichstag (it has twice built and once demolished).
#Khrabrovo Raised the nose of the aircraft. No equipment to clean with bands
So I’m not surprised that Kaliningradish the airport during the day are unable to tow the victim to the side of the plane (a small, but important question: what if it had to be towed urgently, very urgently?). This is very typical for “international”, given the state of Affairs at the airport in recent years, albeit wildly. The Kaliningrad region, cut off from the main part Russia, – for the whole day (maybe more) were left without air links with the mother country. Of course, there are military airfields of course there is vapor, there is a fast train “Yantar”.
the Airport #Khrabrovo, Kaliningrad, 04.01.2017, seeing the show “behind the glass”. History of the issue. Last night at 23 o’clock with the minute “grounded” flight of Aeroflot from Sheremetyevo airport. When this is broken nose gear and the plane was rolled out for the runway, drilled his nose to the ground. Thank God no one was seriously hurt. Night and still (13-30) from the airport not flown a single flight, and no flight was not adopted. Held in investigative activities. The airline blames airport staff that was poorly cleaned runway, airport officials, naturally, deny all charges. People – Packed. The start time of the operation of the airport has been repeatedly postponed. Now talking about 15-00 (while I was writing, became 16-00 ), but, according to operational information, this will not happen before 18-00. After the airport opens, we will wait for our flight will take off and land. It’s at least 2 hours (the flight from Domoded ovo). In common with the 2017 New year!!! Let it be the biggest problem in the new year!
it is hoped that the special truck of the Baltic fleet will cope with the task – to pull the Airbus, with Vzletka and air harbour of Kaliningrad will work again. Rather, it is, of course, will. And I hope that today’s emergency will force you to draw conclusions about the airport facilities, and about his reconstruction as a whole. Otherwise, the next incident not far off. And well, if it is an incident.
