Re:Why did AirAsia fly a crippled jet away from a nearby air... by sitharus on Monday June 26, 2017 @12:41AM (#14634149)
That I can't say. Perhaps Perth was a much better equipped airfield. If you're going to hang around in the air for two hours you may as well get somewhere better able to handle your emergency. The chances of a dual engine failure on an ETOPS-240 (240 minutes single engine operation) certified plane are very small.

Perth isn't an airfield, it'a a major city :) For comparison, Learmonth/Exmouth has a population of ~2000 people, Perth has a population of 2 million.
