It seems anunas horriblus is getting more horribuls this year with the loss of another aircraft – this time a Yemenia Air Airbus A310 from on route IY626 Sanaa to Moroni in the Comoros islands.

It seems the aircraft made one attempt at landing before contact was lost with the aircraft, and from the reports, it seems there conditions were described as “challenging” with high winds.
Prehaps more worryingly, this particular A310 wasn’t excatly praised in it’s last inspection whilst in France, and hasn’t been back since.
From the reports – 1 child has survived. The rest of the 141 passengers and 11 crew (152 souls) are alas being accounted for in bodies.
This year is just not good.
May the souls rest in peace.

Welcome to GhettoIFE.com!
I’m your host – Kevin – and I’ll be here to guide you through the maze of modern travel, and hopefully add some insightful comment and humour.
With GhettoIFE getting on for 2 years old, I’ve had a bit of a design refresh, and tidied up, so for older viewers who make it here – yes, it’s the same content will all the usual sarcasm as always.
As well as random posts on the days events, my trip reports and a few other bits, there will be a few “regular” slots including:
- The News – Commercial aviation news in a bite size ripped to bits segments.
- Trip Reports – When I actually go swanning off to explore the world.
- The Soapbox – Where I get to rant and moan about things – Signed Annoyed of Birmingham.
- Airplane p0rn – Yes it’s my photography lovefest of air planes All clean for work. Published every Sunday.
- How to save money … so far on telephone calls and how to get money on flights back via cashback
- And analysis on IFE and what’s happening in the world of IFE
GhettoIFE.com is updated once or twice a day depending on what’s going on in the world when I’m at my base, and a lot less frequently when I’m away travelling.
All the posts have a slightly twisted and humours bent, and of course comments are open. Please feel free to drop your thoughts in.
I don’t Twitter, nor do Facebook – so it’s traditional email through the comment boxes or direct at blog@ghettoife.com
Thank you for choosing Kevin’s Ghetto IFE. We know you have a choice in blogs.
