Following the episode of the attempted landing on the streets of Nantes, Luxor Air was banned for 10 days before being allowed to pick up pax again in France.

Then came the SAFA check in AMS and tuesday's ban in Holland, Belgium, Switzerland and Italy. The French banned Luxor Air again (for the second time in a month) only yesterday night.

I'm quite curious to see how long Luxor Air will be banned this time. In the previous "boulevardstormer" episode, the ban was lifted after a quick investigation and the firing of the Venezuelian captain (F/O back to flight school).

This time Luxor Air and the Egyptian CAA have a tougher homework assigment in finding acceptable answers for those JAA countries.


Cap 56,
I'm not sure I catched your drift. Are you talking about the privatization of the ECAA or the usual "blame someone else and let us do business"-attitude ?
