   " Now for some facts:   
      
   - The crew filed to the new airport.   
   - There was no confusion regarding opening status of the new airport.   
   - The company has been closely monitoring the whole transition.   
   - There were several KLM teams who have visited the new airport the final   
   months   
   before it was opened, including a delegation of flight operations.   
   - The crew of KL873 made two approach attempts at the new airport.   
   - On both attempts they had insufficient visual reference to continue descent   
   below   
   descent limit so on both occassions a go-around was made.   
   - After the second go-around the crew decided to divert to Mumbai.   
      
   How should I know this? Maybe my username gives a hint...... " (an MD11   
   driver).
