UPDATE: LANDING ON ROBINSON CRUSOE ISLAND

Please have a look at the Robinson Crusoe Album!

We added some pictures Wolfgang took on Robinson Crusoe Island.

You can also see very good that the runway disappeared – and by the way this was not communicated by the ground handling or in the flight maps. The handling agent only mentioned that the runway was under construction, but did not say that it is completely disappeared. Also, it was not marked with a white cross, the international sign for ‘DO NOT USE RUNWAY’!!! They landed on a sandstrip instead.

This is how the runway looked in the past:

And this is how the runway looked when G-ZUMO approached:
