UK Transport Minister forthcoming announcement of operators refused licences by CAA
Following the widely reported story by the UK media (BBC Radio 5 news) that in response to a House of Commons question from a Conservative MP in the wake of the recent B737 disaster in Egypt that the UK government will disclose the names of banned operators to the UK , but not those banned by other European states ,can we expect mass mis-information generated by the press due to this question and its subsequent answer?
How misleading will this information be out of context of the full details of the regulatory authority ruling in each case?
Should the other European governments follow the lead of the UK and name the operators they have banned?
As some airlines with the worst safety records are still operating into the UK , presumably after corrective actions were accepted , what does it take for a regulator to revoke an existing licence ?
