AVIATION ALERT | AZUL E195-E2 LIFTS OFF AT THE... VERY END OF THE RUNWAY IN BRAZIL Dramatic CCTV footage from São Paulo–Congonhas Airport (CGH) has captured an Azul Linhas Aéreas Embraer E195-E2 using almost the entire runway before finally lifting off. 📹 What happened? The incident reportedly occurred on 12 October 2026, involving flight AD4797, bound for Belo Horizonte/Confins. The aircraft, registered PS-AEK, departed runway 17R and became airborne only in the final metres of the runway. Congonhas has a runway measuring approximately 1,940 metres, making every stage of the takeoff critical. ✈️ Did the flight continue safely? According to Brazilian aviation reports, the aircraft continued to its destination without any reported problems, and the pilots did not report an issue to air traffic control. ⚠️ What could explain the long takeoff roll? Several factors can affect takeoff performance, including aircraft weight, temperature, wind conditions, runway conditions and engine performance. However, the specific reason for the unusually long takeoff roll has not been confirmed. A dramatic video alone does not establish that the aircraft was in immediate danger, and further information would be needed to determine whether the event warrants a formal safety investigation. 🔎 Aviation safety reminder: Takeoff performance calculations are critical, particularly at airports with relatively short runways. Pilots must ensure that the aircraft can safely achieve the required takeoff performance under the prevailing conditions. 📹 CCTV footage credit: LIROMONT 👍 LIROMONT 👍 and Golf Oscar Romeo #Aviation #AviationSafety #CongonhasAirport #BrazilAviation #FlightSafetyshow more

SUSPECTED NOROVIRUS OUTBREAK ON EUROWINGS FLIGHT TRIGGERS EMERGENCY RESPONSE... IN GERMANY An ordinary flight from a Greek holiday island turned into a medical emergency on Sunday, 18 October 2026, when multiple passengers reportedly became ill aboard Eurowings flight EW9631 from Rhodes (RHO) to Düsseldorf (DUS), Germany. ✈️ Aircraft: Airbus A321 📍 Route: Rhodes, Greece 🇬🇷 → Düsseldorf, Germany 🇩🇪 👥 Occupants: 212 passengers and seven crew members, according to reports. 🚑 What happened? As several passengers experienced gastrointestinal symptoms, the flight crew requested priority landing at Düsseldorf so emergency medical teams could be ready on arrival. Following the aircraft's safe landing, a significant emergency response was mobilised, including ambulances, airport firefighters and medical personnel. Authorities activated a precautionary mass-casualty alert while assessing the situation. Medical personnel wearing protective suits subsequently boarded the aircraft to examine passengers. Three affected passengers received medical attention and were taken to hospital as a precaution, according to reports. 🦠 Was it norovirus? A possible norovirus outbreak was raised as an explanation for the reported symptoms. However, norovirus has NOT been officially confirmed as the cause. Eurowings stated that the reason for the passengers' illness remained unclear and was being investigated. 🧪 Why the protective suits? Protective equipment can be used as a precaution when an infectious disease is suspected. Their presence does not, by itself, confirm a norovirus outbreak or a hazardous-materials incident. The response highlights the importance of precautionary measures when multiple passengers become ill in the confined environment of an aircraft. 🛫 Aviation safety takeaway When several passengers develop unexplained symptoms during a flight, the crew must communicate with air traffic control, coordinate medical assistance and ensure the aircraft can land safely. On the ground, emergency services must be prepared to assess potentially infectious illnesses while protecting passengers, crew and responders. The incident also demonstrates why clear communication and coordinated emergency planning are essential when the nature and scale of a medical emergency are initially uncertain. ⚠️ STATUS: NOROVIRUS SUSPECTED — NOT CONFIRMED. The cause of the illness remained under investigation in the latest reports reviewed, published on 20–21 October 2026.
