I'm not sure Bureau Veritas would be of any help. They've been involved in a few "scandals" themselves and have quite "bizarre" practices. Do you remember those super-tankers and ferry boats that sank recently in Europe ? Bureau Veritas was asked to certify some of those boats. They refused (clever move since the boats were good for the trash), but told the customer to go to another company that would certify them without any further questionning. That "company" was actually a subsidiary of Bureau Veritas, so the money came into their (deep) pockets anyway, the boats sank, people died, etc. but Bureau Veritas' reputation was never in danger.
Back to the topic... Who chartered the planes ? Maybe there's a card to play over there ?
