Personally I don’t think so, kind of like the SAA 747 Helderberg, it’s not in the interest of the powers that be to find out the truth. Maybe if an independent finances the search, but according to the video Malaysian airline has to initiate the search again and the cost of finding the reason would be to much for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbie Stewart Posted March 13, 2022 Share Comair's Kulula and BA have been indefinitely grounded.

MrJacques Posted March 20, 2022 Share They've been cleared Comair Flights Resume After South Africa Clears Airline - Bloomberg But may get grounded again... (my speculation) British Airways flight experiences technical difficulties landing in Cape Town | News24 Personally I'd rather have them grounded until they sort things out.

DJR Posted March 20, 2022 Share Could it be that Civil Aviation itself is a bigger problem that any specific SA airline? Or is that a question I am not allowed to ask? mazambaan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also saw some headlines but info is still a bit vague. 737-800, into the side of a mountain in a remote rural area. That's one of the headlines I saw.

Bonus Posted March 23, 2022 Share What were the chances of someone filming that piece of sky at the time? Or did something happen that made them look up and start videoing? I'm never that quick with my phone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ouzo Posted March 25, 2022 Share Would anyone know if there is a particular reason for a heck of a lot more light aircraft landing at ORT today? normally there are 1 or 2 interspersed during quieter periods, but today there seems to be more light aircraft than bigger ones.

Spokey Posted May 13, 2022 Share So, been off the topic for a while. We are just back from a 5 day Saudi circuit. Was hectic, top execs from the company checking on various bizz premises. It was interesting to fly to some very different locations, some of which are clearly not part of the modern world! The pics are the approach into Qaisumah in the north east of Saudi, Dammam in the east and then descending into Dubai Al Maktoum airport passing over Palm Jumeirah and Dubai Marina. Qaisumah is an unmanned airfield, was a new experience doing these ops in Saudi. Am ised to it in SA and USA. But all worked out fine.
