AMcWhirterParticipantIndonesia will be checking all airlines for route violations, reports Bloomberg today.

MartynSinclairParticipantI wonder how many pilots check the route licensing / authorisation for a scheduled route. More importantly, would a Captain challenge an employer over the issue…
This is a very strange situation, if indeed it is correct..

knightflyerParticipantLetsFlyNow – Local reports in Singapore stated that Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore said it had granted permission for the airline’s Sunday flight. Just not from the originating airport…scary.

AnthonyDunnParticipantHow much longer and how many more tragedies before the entire civil aviation industry moves to real-time reporting via satcoms of aircraft telemetry, engine performance and cockpit actions and voice? The proposition, at this point in time, that the Indonesian (and other) authorities and armed forces should be having to search the sea bed in order to recover the flight data and cockpit voice recorders is, frankly, ludicrous.
Whoever and whatever is fighting this overdue change in reporting needs either to be reminded or made to understand that accurate and timely information on what is happening on an aircraft takes precedence over any perceived “privacy” issues.

AMcWhirterParticipantHello Knightflyer
We’ve added a piece re Indonesian aviation. The goverment wishes to improve aviation standards by raising some fares.

MrDarwinParticipantThe Indonesian National Transport Safety Committee report into the cause of the Air Asia crash has been released:

Despite reports at the time of weather being the primary suspect, it seems that a known and recurring mechanical issue (23 times in 12 months) along with pilot error were the causes. It provides for some scary reading and some hard questions to be asked of Air Asia.

AMcWhirterParticipantEven before today’s announcement, the carrier’s shares had fallen by 70 per cent since last December.
