That is a complete effin disgrace. A nation with possibly the smallest economy on earth, led by an hereditary 'leader' who chooses to fly his 4 engined royal jet up the farm road to impress his friends. I feel ill. The Swazi people must feel so proud.

I agree 💯. Nobody gives a crap about what aircraft you arrive in. However I doubt Swazis are proud of him. I wouldn't be surprised if the majority hate him
Positive rate! :D

Does anyone know why Emirates had to hold, divert, and return to CPT before reaching DUR today?

A Piper Tomahawk had an oopsie on the runway leaving 01/19 closed for a while. All the narrow bodies landed on 16, but 16 is a tad short for a 77W. As soon as the Tomahawk was cleared, the runway reopened and they cancelled the diversion.

Notice King Air Z-WSG is flying Lanseria to Harare at only 17,000ft
She often flies at only between 16,000 and 17,000ft
This is because she is a medical transport and often has to fly low to keep cabin pressures high for patients onboard

Sounds more like an INOP yaw damper, without the dual strakes on the empennage you're limited to FL170 in a BE20 :)
