Accidents and incidents

Norcust-Hartfer was the point of departure for the doomed Radictistan Automotive Works Flight 241 which was destroyed by a bomb shortly after takeoff. The Communist Party of Radictistan claimed responsibility. The airport was also the target of two attempted mortar attacks. In both cases the KPR cadres were located and engaged by security personnel before they were able to open fire.

As a consequence of the highly publicized security breaches, the airport experienced a downturn in international passenger traffic, with some foreign airlines ending negotiations to begin passenger service or pulling out of their existing business.
