Radzi 2 Report post Posted July 12, 2007 This morning, the aerobridge at A2 (A2R) collapse, shearing off the forward entry door of a Malaysian A330. I saw the door being loaded on a truck, however the aircraft was already towed away so I couldn't get the registration. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And the restrooms are not tidy, the smell of urine. Most of the restrooms for disabled people have non-functional doors. And many more ... Changi Terminal 2 has tidier restrooms.

Gavin Andrew David 6 Report post Posted July 12, 2007 Most likely due to some loss of hydraulic pressure most likely to the strut that it is supporting it due to perhaps lack of maintenance or just a plain accident . Oh well , looks like we're now one more aircraft down for at least a week or two .. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
