Aviation expert compares its effect to 9/11 or Iceland
Aviation adviser John Strickland says it will take a few days for Global Airlines flights to close the Hesro airport.
“We are talking about a few days of interruption to recover and start using them to transport planned and destroy passengers,” he said.
Strickland compares the “an old version of 9/11 or to some extent, the Iceland volcano,” which closed the European sky in 2010.
“I remembered that I saw these occasions – especially more than 9/11 – it happened so fast and then the US airspace was closed.
“Hesro was so busy and full, there was no wrinkled room to get out of such things.
