I think the CAA should make their own decision about the DAS company, It maybe that there is someone in Holland making life hard for this long established airline?
I think the decision to ban operators should be given to each individual country to decide on whether to allow such Airlines to operate to.
I am not suggesting anything, But there maybe something behind the German & Dutch Authorities decision to drive this decision forward?
I think DAS should be given adequate chance to run itself succesfully and safely on a 'probationary' period if necessary.
I don't think many Airlines can hold their hand up and say - We have never broken any SOP's or Rules of the Air.
Maybe their are serious operational irregularities with the DAS DC10's, But the Authorities should work with DAS to hopefully get the Airline on a steady road.
You can't TAR all African operators with the same brush!
Regards.
