Teams FIN and AUT landed in Algeria
After many hours out on the sea and a time-consuming “battle” to find the winds to make landfall, these two teams finally made it. FIN (Olli Luoama / Ben Mattsson) and AUT (Gerald Stuerzlinger / Nikolaus Binder) are relieved to stay on a firm ground now.
We have been in contact with the brave pilots and their retrieve crews all through the day. In parallel, high-level contacts had been established with senior embassy representatives. The network was working perfectly.
We are very thankful for the immense level of support provided by embassies and consulats during today. Thank you very much.
