Yeah interesting indeed...seems to be pointing the finger at "johnny foreigner" for the lack of infrastructure..beauracratic ineptitude..and general lack of professionalism
Having operated to India and its surrounds a few times, I think it will take a hell of a lot more than just locally trained pilots to sort some of these things out.
In the first week of February this year, the German commander of an Air Deccan flight mistook a flyover next to the Hussain Sagar lake in Hyderabad for the runway. An alert air traffic controller saved the day.
On February 18, just before take-off from Delhi, a Jet Airways flight piloted by a Nigerian entered a taxiway meant for planes that exit the runway after landing
On March 11, the nose-wheel of an ATR plane of Air Deccan carrying 40 passengers broke after a rough landing at Bangalore. The pilot was a Zambian.
In September 2005, the Bolivian pilot of a Calcutta-Mumbai Air Sahara flight with 119 passengers misjudged the length of the runway, overshot it
On October 10, 2005, a Romanian pilot of Air India Express on the Dubai-Kochi sector landed, ignoring an air traffic controller's warning
Sounds a heck of a lot like poor airmanship and poor judgement..rather than being foreign as the cause for these. I wonder what the standard of training is like in India?
