Committee justifies Bek Air grounding with damning catalogue of flaws
Kazakhstan’s civil aviation committee has revealed a damning list of flaws in Bek Air’s flight operations and maintenance processes, to justify the carrier’s grounding. One of Bek Air’s Fokker 100s crashed on take-off from Almaty Dec 27, resulting in the enforced suspension of the airline’s operation – a measure which the airline had argued was illegal. But the committee states that Bek Air has not only suffered 2 major incidents in the past 3 years, but experienced a “significantly higher than acceptable” level of serious safety problems over this period. It adds that a detailed probe of the carrier was initiated after its suspension, during which “a number of violations” was uncovered. <br/>
