ANALYSIS: QZ8501 bucks improving Indonesian safety trend

 

The loss of Indonesia AirAsia flight QZ8501 on 28 December follows a year in which Indonesian airlines improved their safety record.

 

Without question, the loss of the Airbus A320 aircraft with 155 passengers and seven crew ranks among the worst air disasters in Indonesia’s history. Flightglobal’s Ascend Fleets database shows that the worst crash involving an Indonesian carrier occurred on 26 September 1997, when a Garuda Indonesia Airbus A300 flew into a hill while approaching Medan, killing all 222 passengers and 12 crew.

Guys be careful what you post. It might be offensive to certain people.

 

Yes, agreed. If it is not necessary to write something, may as well don't write it at all.

Flight attendant,

Disarm all doors and cross check.

Now you may disembark for your deserved rest...in peace.

We thank you for your last flight with QZ8501.

AL-FATIHAH . R.I.P!

 

Not sure if I get the message, guess it's well-meaning but doesn't seem appropriate at all.

AirAsia’s Chief Responds Quickly and With Compassion

 

By ALEXANDRA STEVENSON and NEIL GOUGHDEC. 31, 2014

 

HONG KONG — When an AirAsia plane carrying 162 people disappeared from the skies near Indonesia on Sunday, the Malaysian company’s chief executive, Tony Fernandes, took to Twitter. “This is my worst nightmare,” he wrote.
Within hours, Mr. Fernandes was in Surabaya, the missing plane’s point of departure, speaking with families of the passengers and crew. On Tuesday evening, after the crash site had been found, he met with President Joko Widodo of Indonesia, who had arrived in Surabaya to visit the grieving families.
By Wednesday afternoon, Mr. Fernandes was in Pangkalan Bun, the coastal Indonesian town near where the wreckage of Flight 8501 was found and the center of recovery efforts. In delicate language, he spoke on Twitter about the “soul-destroying” experience of seeing the bodies and airplane parts that had been pulled from the water.
His approach to the crisis mirrors the hands-on philosophy that has helped him to turn what was, 13 years ago, a state-owned airline with millions of dollars in debt into Asia’s largest budget carrier. As he built up the brand, Mr. Fernandes became synonymous with it — the public face and promoter in chief of the business — sometimes working alongside cabin staff on flights or at reservation desks and even as a bag handler.

AirAsia flight's behaviour 'on the edge of logic'

 

The AirAsia jet in which 162 people lost their lives this week behaved in ways "bordering on the edge of logic" according to Indonesian aviation analyst Gerry Soejatman citing leaked information from the air crash investigation team.

The Airbus 320-200 climbed in a way that was impossible to achieve by the pilot, adding that it subsequently "didn't fall out of the sky like an aeroplane", he told Fairfax Media.

Plane hits severe storm and sudden upwind gust tilted the plane to almost vertical, engine stalled, plane lose aerodynamic lift, and then slide backwards tail first, hit water, broke fuselage, and flipped backward as it sunk to the bottom of the sea bed.

 

According to news, some passengers were from the rear part of the plane. At least one was found still belted to the seat.

According to news, some passengers were from the rear part of the plane. At least one was found still belted to the seat.

As of now,they have yet to find the fuselage or the main debris field. So some of that are still rumours.

Detiknews has really up to date information provided you understand Indonesian.

Apparently QZ8501 on that particular day (Sunday) was flown without official permission.....

 

 

 

In another development, it has emerged that AirAsia did not have official permission to fly the Surabaya-Singapore route on Sunday - the day of the crash - but was licensed on four other days of the week.

The Indonesian authorities are suspending the company's flights on this route with immediate effect pending an investigation, a transport ministry statement said.

Are they serious? how the plane has been departed from an international Airport Surabaya without permission for to be fly on suspended airoute??...how they get the "confirmed" flight plan by dispetch, how they receive a confirmed "flight stripes" at the tower by authority? If they want to say "there is no permission to Air Asia flights from Surabaya to Singapore by any offical reasons by slots,security reasons, flight permission between two country, only related operation issues of Air Asia Indonesia".....it's OK, sounds like logical. If it so be, how they departed???

 

meanwhile, newspaper link needs subscriptions
