Quotes from Sunday Business Times 07/12/03
“The Hydro Air Pilot twice told the air traffic controller that according to his notes the runway onto which he had been directed to land was under reconstruction. The controller denied this.” How could he not know?
“The runway appeared to be functioning normally, its lights were on navigation aids were working and there were no markings to indicate that it was unserviceable.” Why????
“Reports say the air traffic controller ran away, but was arrested the next morning.” Running where?
“We are operating in a highly competitive market, and in peak season aircraft and crews are not easy to come by. We are the only South African based cargo carrier competing in Europe and you can bet the opposition are more than ready to move in on our markets.”
Who would be the most likely competitor to get in on the market?
How could he not know? Running where? Who would be the most likely competitor to get in on the market?
