American Airlines plane is prevented from landing on Naples runway for being too large
American Airlines Flight 780 carrying 231 passengers to the Italian city was forced to divert to Rome Fiumicino Airport “due to technical limitations.” The incident occurred on June 2.
The aircraft being operated was a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner. Passengers had to take a bus for over 225 km before reaching their final destination.
The wingspan of the Dreamliner is about 6 meters longer than that of the traditional Boeing 787-8, which is the model American Airlines typically uses to fly to Naples, as it meets the airport’s requirements.
“We apologize to them for this disruption to their journey,” American Airlines said in a statement.
