China Plane In Sea Search Lands At Wrong Australia Airport
The
first Chinese plane heading to Australia to join the hunt for a missing
Malaysia Airlines jet landed at the wrong airport on Saturday,
underscoring the difficulties facing the increasingly complex
multinational search effort.
The
Chinese IL-76 military aircraft made an unexpected stop at Perth
International Airport before heading to its correct destination at RAAF
Base Pearce outside Perth, where search and rescue operations for Flight
MH370, which has been missing for two weeks, are now being coordinated.
"They landed at Perth and then they landed here," RAAF Corporal Janine
Fabre told Reuters.
"We don't know why."
RAAF Base Pearce, a dusty collection of runways and low-slung buildings
about 21 miles north of Perth, is taking on the feel of a model United
Nations as aircraft and ships - not to mention journalists - from at
least six countries descend on the region.
But
as the number of search vehicles and nationalities increases, so too do
the challenges including security sensibilities, language and
operational and command issues. - Reuters
