Airone has to land in Olbia for the lack of radio controls in Alghero

An Airbus of the Italian company Airone had to be detoured to Olbia on Saturday, L'Unione Sarda reports. The couse for the detour were poor weather conditions and the lack of a radio control system that permits airplanes to land in Alghero in foggy conditions. The plane coming from Rome Fumicino airport tried to land twice, then decided to risk no further and asked landing permissions in Olbia. The radio control system in Alghero is out of order since spring 2008 and is only needed in scarse visibility conditions.
