CAIRO - The captain of a BAC 111 of the Romanian airline Tarom asked his passengers to get out and push the aircraft away from the terminal at Cairo airport yesterday because it had no towing arm, airport sources said.
But the passengers failed to budge it and they have gone off to an airport hotel while the airline and the airport authorities think of another solution, they said. The aircraft was originally scheduled to take off for Bucharest at 1.40 a.m. (local time) on Saturday.
