The flight EY0279 (call sign ETD279) has just disappeared
from the live flight radar screen. All of us had
watched this AIRBUS A320 taking off at 2025hrs from Malé International Airport
and climbing at 2000fpm on the live flight radar on the laptop screen. Once the
aircraft gained 40000ft, we disconnected the data connection and went to have
dinner as this was a 04 hour 15 minute flight to Abu Dhabi which is 3025
kilometers away.
