Passenger jet returns
December 30th, 2009 | by admin |The morning calm of the Juan Santamaría (San José) international airport was broken with the sounds of the sirens of the dozen ambulances and half dozen fire trucks rushing to the cargo terminal of the airport, when the Continental jetliner that had minutes before taken off from the Santamaría, announced its return to port.
A Continental Airline passenger jet had to return to Juan Santamaría airport Tuesday morning after a control panel warning light went on some 45 minutes into the flight. There was no damage or injuries, but more than 100 U.S.-bound passengers were delayed. The light suggested a potential malfunction in the reverse thruster system of the engines that is used upon landing.
