La isla griega de Scíathos no solo es popular por la belleza de sus playas. Su pequeño aeropuerto, el Alexandros Papadiamantis, cada año reúne a cientos de entusiastas de la aviación, quienes tienen la oportunidad de apreciar las aeronaves a poca distancia segundos antes de que aterricen.

Uno de estos espectaculares aterrizajes fue protagonizado recientemente por un enorme Airbus A321neo, de 44,5 metros de largo y una envergadura de 35,8, que sobrevoló a escasos metros de las cabezas de los visitantes antes de tocar la pista.

En un video publicado en el canal de YouTube Great Flyer, se observa un avión de la aerolínea Wizz Air realizar un aterrizaje con un ángulo de aproximación extremadamente bajo. Descendió tan cerca de los turistas, que algunos tuvieron que aferrarse a una barrera de tráfico para no ser derribados por el chorro de aire de las turbinas.

Con tan solo 1.628 metros de largo, la pista del aeropuerto de Scíathos es considerada como la más corta de Europa. Para reducir el rodaje de despegue, los aviones deben operar con poco peso, por lo que la mayoría solo carga suficiente combustible como para alcanzar la ciudad de Tesalónica, a 157 kilómetros, donde realizan una parada para repostar.

MP for St. Peter Asot Michael has indicated that he will contest the upcoming general elections as an independent candidate, as he has been removed from the Antigua Labour Party (ALP) ticket.

Michael was not ratified as a candidate during what he describes as the Labour Party’s recent “kangaroo convention.” Instead, Rawdon Turner was unanimously voted in to represent St. Peter.

In no uncertain terms, however, Michael says he will contest the St. Peter seat in the general elections, and declares he will make history by becoming the first independent candidate to win an election in this country.

According to MP Michael, the ALP’s Suitability Committee did not give reasons why it found him not fit to run on the party’s ticket.

In fact, he claims the Chairman of that committee, Hilroy Humphreys, voted in favour of his remaining the party’s candidate for that constituency.

Further, Michael alleges that one of the members of the Suitability Committee is a relative of Turner.

Meanwhile, he says the popularity of Prime Minister Gaston Browne, the political leader of the ALP, is very low in the St. Peter constituency. Browne’s behaviour and attitude have infuriated many of the constituents, Michael claims. – REAL NEWS
