Andrea Iannone will remember his plane travel between Ibiza and Greece. A private air transport accomplished with his sweetheart Belen Rodriguez. All the elements of the dream journey were therefore united. But that was without taking into account a story of cigarettes and the authority of an on-board commander who disembarked the couple before arriving at their destination. The Suzuki official says.
The flight of discord, the sequel… The incident between a captain of a private airline and the couple Iannone-Rodiguez will face legal consequences since the duo decided to file a complaint against the pilot. All this over a cigarette story, electronic or not, but which still triggered the fire alarm in the plane. Afterwards, it's all a question of interpretation. And imagine that, in this respect, Joe the Maniac does not lack imagination.
In the columns of Corriere della Sera, the one who will return to the track at Silverstone this weekend explains: “ it was an electronic cigarette. We were very scared. The captain closed the cockpit door and refused to continue speaking to us. The plane veered off course and I had no idea where it was taking us. I thought we were being kidnapped. I was very afraid. I have never been more scared than during this story. It's not like on the bike where I'm in charge ».
« When we landed, the police were waiting for us, but that's procedure. The police boarded the plane and did not notice any burning smell. The company apologized to us and dissociated itself from its pilot. Belen and I don't want to have anything to do with this pilot anymore ».
