DCA ATS Division conducted an investigation immediately. Controller was relieved from operational position and re-rostered to non-operational position. This is a non-punitive action to protect both the controller and the organisation. Investigation was completed on 10 Oct and showed that ATC did not contribute to the aircraft mistakenly taking off from Rwy 02. Controller was re-instated for operational duty on 10th. Controller reminded the flight crew to "expedite line up Rwy 20" when the aircraft was abeam Twy F. When the aircraft was seen rotating, controller took corrective action and the landing aircraft was recleared to the west of the field.

I understand the airline also ran a parallel investigation.

Your allegation that DCA said nothing happened, unwilling to accept any wrongdoing and not willing to conduct an investigation because of Raya is totally way off target. Still "simply tembak".

Selamat Hari Raya
