Following the allocation of all maintenance to SAA , including the contracts formerly held by Lufthansa one can expect a future audit of SAA , SACAA and Lufthansa by both EASA and the FAA. In view of recent Incidents at both SAA with the Airbus 340 trim incident on the Covid vaccine mission to Europe and SACAA with their CFIT at George a proper audit is called for to once again instill confidence in the Southern African flying public.
Thus far we have only heard about incidents and different level findings, enough to rattle the flying public but the details need to be forthcoming to dispel any unfound rumours that may exist. We need to know how many incidents and their nature - two inflight shutdowns one month apart on the same sector begs for more details and clarification. Surely landing gear problems could also be properly explained by the responsible Maintenance Organisation both to the satisfaction of Comair, the customer and the Flying public and of course SACAA
Enough dust has been kicked -up to get everyone's attention and everyone needs to know.
