Maybe that purchase of 19 A330s wasn?t such a good idea Singapore Airlines
When ground crew opened the cargo hold in Melbourne, the dog, now angry and distressed, appeared. At no time was the aircraft in any real danger as the problem was isolated and the affected parts bypassed.
An aviation source told News.com.au, “The dog ripped out several wires which set off the cockpit warning and then it had a go at a number of electrical units in the rear of the plane.
“Under duress the animal obviously went nuts, biting through anything that it came across.
“I do not know the breed but the dog had to be fairly big with a big bite to damage cargo hold panels that are as tough as billy goat boots - it is difficult to even cut through this material with a knife.”
Yesterday we reported that Singapore Airlines had ordered 19 Airbus A330s to serve routes such as Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth to Singapore. So long as there are no dogs around the planes they should be fine.
