A Kenya Airways Boeing 777-200, registration 5Y-KQT performing flight KQ477 from Bujumbura (Burundi) to Kigali (Rwanda) with 91 passengers and further on to Nairobi (Kenya), struck a floodlight pole while being guided by a marshaller after landing at Kigali. No injuries were reported, the airplane however sustained significant damage to its right hand wing. The passengers disembarked normally and joined 200 travellers from Kigali, waiting for the onward flight to Nairobi, in the waiting lounge.

A replacement Boeing 777-200, registration 5Y-KQS, departed Kigali at 21:30 (scheduled departure 13:55) local time and delivered all passengers safely to Nairobi without further incident.

5Y-KQT is still on the ground at Kigali being repaired by a team of Kenya Airways engineers.

Incident: XL Airways A332 over Atlantic on Sep 12th 2008, diversion because airline w

A XL Airways France Airbus A330-200 on behalf of XL Airways (UK), registration F-GSEU performing flight JN1133 from Orlando Sanford,FL (USA) to Manchester,EN (UK) with 262 passengers, needed to divert to Paris Charles de Gaulle (France) after the UK branch of the airline, XL Airways, declared bankrupt while the airplane was over the Atlantic about 5 hours into the flight. The French flight crew told passengers, that they needed to divert becaue the license had expired and they could no longer land on UK airports.

Passengers reported, that their Manchester based cabin crew was in tears after the news broke, but continued their service professionally.

The flight reportedly was the last to takeoff around the globe before the airline went bust.

Two aircraft, reportedly paid for by the UK Civil Aviation Authority, brought the passengers from Paris to Manchester.

In a press release Ryanair offered one of their Boeing 737-800s to the CAA for the next two weeks to bring stranded XL Airways passengers back home. Many other airlines, inside and outside the UK, have offered their help to stranded XL passengers quietly and without press releases, too.
