Incidents and accidents

• On 2 March 2010, a Corendon Airlines pilot, of Swedish origin, was arrested at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport in the Netherlands after flying commercial jets for 13 years without a licence. He was due to fly a Boeing 737-400 to Ankara, Turkey with 101 passengers on board when the Dutch police arrested him.^[3][4] A back-up pilot was standing by to fly the jet to its destination. It is reported that he had clocked up to 10,000 hours flying passenger jets for various European airlines and 2 years with Corendon Airlines before the tip off from Swedish authorities. The licence he held was to fly light aircraft, but that licence expired 13 years, in 1997, before the incident.^[5]

• On 2 October 2010 at 19.15 local time, a Corendon Airlines Boeing 737-400 aircraft overshot the runway and came to a halt when its front landing gear struck the soil at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport. Everyone evacuated safely.^[6]
