Airline crew 'completely unaware' they had missed airport
The US airline crew that overshot their destination by 100 miles had no idea anything was wrong until one of the cabin crew told them, investigation papers released today reveal.
They were unaware that they had flown their Airbus A320 with 144 passengers past the city of Minneapolis, that air traffic controllers and their airline’s dispatchers had been struggling to reach them for more than an hour, or that the US military was at that moment readying fighter jets for an intercept mission.
