Air scare - Anxious moments as Learjet circles NMIA, dumps fuel before landing

JamaicaObserver.com: "A Learjet that had difficulty landing at the Norman Manley International Airport (NMIA) in Kingston yesterday evening was forced to circle the airport and dump fuel, triggering a frantic response from emergency service personnel who rushed through peak hour traffic to the airport.
Chairman of the Airports Authority Earl Richards confirmed the incident which came just under a month after the city's emergency services were harshly criticised for responding slowly to the crash-landing of American Airlines flight 331 at the NMIA on December 22.
Richards told the Observer that some five fire trucks had rushed to the NMIA in anticipation of any eventualities, while emergency procedures at the airport kicked into action before the plane eventually landed safely shortly before 7:00 pm."
