A 30-year-old man was arrested at Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport (SYD) after breaching airport security, entering the tarmac and attempting to enter the cargo hold of a Sri Lankan Airlines aircraft. The man appears to have reached the platform leading to the aircraft cargo area.
According to a report published by the Aviation Herald, the ground crew went to close one of the aircraft’s two lower deck cargo doors following the completion of the loading of passenger baggage. A fumes alarm was triggered prompting an emergency evacuation on the tarmac.
As the plane accelerated, fragments of tarmac were seen being thrown into the air behind it, creating a visible trail of debris. Witnesses and airport surveillance footage captured the moment when the Airbus A330’s powerful thrust dislodged sections of the newly resurfaced runway.
Worldwide Flight Services (WFS) says it has increased cargo handling capacity by 60% at Madrid’s Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas Airport with the opening of its fifth cargo terminal. WFS has signed a 30-year lease on the new building which increases the organisation’s total cargo facility footprint in Madrid to 17,000 sqm.
Over the past days and weeks, the cargo transporter has put 11 electric tractors (which can tow up to four cargo containers) and 13 electric container lifts, belly loaders and pushbacks into operation at the airport. The necessary charging infrastructure will be provided by Brussels Airport both on the tarmac and at its own buildings.
Imagine what it’s like slinging suitcases out on the tarmac when the mercury hits triple digits. What all of that means for travelers is that your flight might be weight-restricted and unable to take a full load of people or cargo. How much so will vary with the temperature and runway length.
For me it was more about having an excuse to get back on the tarmac at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) and hang out with Alaska Cargo up close and personal. Yes, it was quite entertaining seeing all the people wanting to kiss a 34 pounder at 8am in the morning (I typically don’t kiss fish before noon).
Apparently the ERJ-135s are very popular with touring bands, because those airplanes have great cargo capacity compared to other similarly-sized options. There is an increasing focus on special event flights like to Coachella or the Super Bowl. And the charter business has been particularly strong. I just had a cup of tea.
Well, the airline has eight VIP government jets, plus 10 cargo jets, with eight of these being Ilyushin Il-76TDs. The minute the wheels left the tarmac the crew released their seat belts and started walking around the galley and cabin. There are large seat back TV screens, but there is no entertainment onboard.
In the photo below you can see my mother (in pink), my sister (yellow), and my grandmother (gray), climbing the airstairs on the Bermuda tarmac. In 1972, the horrific crash of Turkish Airlines flight 981 outside Paris was blamed on a faulty cargo door and a poorly reinforced cabin floor.
As it started to get dark a 777 was moved across the tarmac. Now you might be wondering why I didn’t get a photo of the Sky Lease Cargo 747-400F going full throttle. Even though Paine Field has had commercial service for a while now, it still surprises me to see an Alaska 737 taking off with passengers here.
737 Skids Off Tarmac In Senegal An Air Senegal flight left the runway during take-off late on Wednesday night , with flames allegedly engulfing one side of the plane. At least 10 people were injured at Dakar’s Blaise Daigne airport, including the pilot.

The overview of the land side, departure hall. There is a flight simulator on the 2nd floor. This is the gate area for domestic flights.
Data from Flightradar24 shows that the aircraft taxied from the cargo apron located at the northwestern end of the airfield at 00:28 before taxying down to the taxiway leading to runway 33R. Simple mathematics determines that the aircraft came to a halt with just 100 feet (30 meters) of tarmac ahead of it.
What I like about the interior of the terminals at this airport is they offer good view of the tarmac which allow great opportunity to take good photos of the aircraft. Lufthansa Cargo's Boeing 777F replaced the fleet of MD-11F and now operating just this aircraft type. It was nice visiting this airport. Goodbye Frankfurt!
The present condition of the tarmac, taxiways and runways is good, and there’s no airport construction currently underway.
