A group of workers at Turkish Airlines were so happy to be rid of the last of a batch of troublesome planes that they sacrificed a camel at Istanbul airport. The national flag-carrier admitted on Wednesday that the staff had slaughtered the dromedary and that chief of the sacrifice-organizing group had been suspended pending an investigation. The incident drew worldwide attention after Turkish newspapers carried pictures of the festooned camel before sacrifices and then the beast chopped up into meat chunks.

Chinese airlines are buying planes with larger seats to accommodate an increasing number of passengers who are overweight. A China Eastern Airlines employee said the carrier imported its planes from the West, where the population is generally larger. Even so, the company will cut out 20 seats on the new Airbus 321 to make the seating space wider.
