Malaysia Airlines mistakes led to "serious incicent" on packed A330
A four-year ATSB report has identified a catalogue of basic errors made by Malaysia Airlines staff that led to a ‘serious incident’ on a packed A330 at Brisbane. The aircraft, bound for Kuala Lumpur and carrying 215 passengers, eventually had to turn around mid-air and return home after it was identified too late that the vital airspeed sensors were covered up. Two similar incidents in 1996 involving 757s led to fatal crashes that killed more than 200 people. The ATSB said its investigation into the 2018 incident was “one of its most substantive and complex” in recent years and highlighted poor decisions made by Malaysia Airlines pilots and crew, alongside those from other organisations. Story has more details of the findings.<br/>
