As the masses travel to different destinations, now that it is business as usual following a long hiatus necessitated by Covid-19 and its attendant fears, still uppermost in many people’s minds are the questions: how safe am I and my family with the airline industry?
By challenging a damning report on the crash of one of its planes, the SA Civil Aviation Authority is clearly concerned about its reputation and rightly so, says an aviation law expert.
SUNDAY, 23 January, marked the second anniversary of the unfortunate and tragic accident of Cessna ZS-CAR Aircraft that claimed the lives of Captain Thabiso Tolo, first officer Tebogo Lekalakala and flight inspector Gugu Mnguni.
The report found, among other things, that the aircraft was not being operated in compliance with South Africa's Civil Aviation Regulations and Technical Standards.
