Airport hiccups Hosea Kutako International
Airport (HKIA) had to issue a Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) earlier today due to a
safety hazard as there was a disabled aircraft at Threshold 26. At least one
flight was unable to land and had to return to Johannesburg. The NOTAM was
issued at 14:40 and was lifted at 15:20 and the airport is fully operational
again. A NOTAM is a notice filed with an aviation authority to alert aircraft
pilots of potential hazards along a flight route or at a location that could
affect the safety of the flight. It could not be confirmed how many planes were
unable to land.
