Incidents
- On 15 September 2012, an Armenian cargo aircraft landed here while en route to Aleppo, Syria so that Turkish authorities could check for arms. Coming less than a week after a jetliner of Syrian Arab Airlines was forced to land in Ankara due to suspicion of carrying arms, this stop was planned and agreed on beforehand.[4]
- On 21 October 2015, an airliner did an emergency landing while en route from Vienna to Abu Dhabi to offload a Slovakian economy class passenger who was handcuffed and arrested for using the closer business class lavatory after getting airsickness. The passenger was accommodated in a hotel overnight by the Turkish authorities and given a ticket to get back to her home country via Istanbul. The Slovakian ambassador to Turkey sent a letter of thanks to the airport authorities for taking care of their citizen.[5]
gollark: Wait, euboea isn't just a helloboi joke?
gollark: This actually could be useful.
gollark: Also, idea for the binary HTML thing, increase efficiency like this:```rustenum CommonTag { P, H1, // all other common tags in existence}enum CommonAttr { Class, Id, // also all other common HTML attributes}enum Attribute { Common(CommonAttr), Other(String) }enum Tag { Common(CommonTag), Other(String) }struct Html { name: Tag, attributes: Map<Attribute, String>, children: Vec<Html>}```
gollark: Not sure if that corresponds to the URL, which is what you often want, but oh well.
gollark: Hmm, so looking at this you could probably binary-search the titles, at least.
