*FastJet Plane Fails To Take-off After Fuel Is Depleted On Runway* *Follow Pindula on WhatsApp for daily new updates* https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va84dngJP21B2nWeyM3v?jz A Fastjet plane failed to take-off at Johannesburg’s OR Tambo International Airport on Sunday after it ran out of fuel because it took too long taxiing on the runway. A passenger aboard the plane who spoke to Zimlive on condition of anonymity had this to say: ---------- Latest itel S24 available on Pindula: 128GB storage, 4GB RAM $119 USD WhatsApp: +263715068543 Calls: 0772464000 Buy Online: https://www.pindula.co.zw/market/itel-s24-128gb-22-20240426142756795795/?s=wanews ---------- > The plane left its parking bay and went to the taxiway. The pilot came on and told us that we would take off after a plane which was visible to our left had taken off. > That plane took-off after a few minutes. Then as we were expecting our turn to take-off, we were then informed that the plane had run out of fuel. > We waited another eight minutes for the fuel truck. The refuelling took about three minutes. A bus then turned up and they took us back to the terminal building. We waited there a little while and then they took us back to the plane. The plane, an Embraer ERJ-145LU, flying as flight FN8332 was bound for Harare. In a brief statement on Twitter after the fiasco, FastJet confirmed the development, saying that the extended taxiway delay had an impact on the fuel requirement of the aircraft. *More: ZimLive* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
