| | AIN Online: Passenger attacks crew of Dornier 228 with axe (Site not responding. Last check: ) |
 | | At smaller airports that are not equipped to screen passengers and cabin baggage, Norwegian authorities have now required that on aircraft equipped with a securable cockpit door, that door should be locked from the pilots side from pushback until the engines are shut down at the destination arrival gate. |
 | | They soon retracted this explanation and said that it was a small hunting axe that the attacker smuggled onto the aircraft, along with a carpet-cutting knife that was found in his bag. |
 | | Ralf Ott, Dornier 228 service manager with the Oberpfaffenhofen, Germany-based company, told AIN that the doors can be retrofitted fairly easily, although he could not give exact prices for the modification. |
