FTA: "THIS was the dramatic moment yesterday when an airliner with dozens of British holidaymakers on board came within feet of landing on a beach."

Holidaymakers?

They make holidays?

Thomas Cook demanded a full explanation from Air Europa and the airport authorities.

[read] Thomas Cook demanded to know why the lowest priced charter operator they could find to move their holiday passengers was not so reliable.

Nora McNair, 80, from Orphir on Orkney, who was travelling with her partially disabled husband Archie, 84, said: "We seemed to make a very good landing.

Any landing you can wheelchair away from is a good landing.

What is it with air mishaps in the Canaries? Seems to me there have been many over the past 25 years or so. On my way home from Tenerife, the plane I was on blew a tire on take off. No sweat..no one hurt, got to say an extra day. Thank christ I had clean underwear.
