Airlink allegedly tries to rig online safety poll
2009/12/11

AIRLINK staffers allegedly tried to rig an online poll about its safety, The Star newspaper reported today (December 11).

Airlink chief executive Roger Foster admitted to the newspaper some of his staff used chain emails and posters to urge colleagues to vote that they would fly Airlink in a poll on IOL: News for South Africa and the World
Some 55% of readers voted they would not fly Airlink, while 45% said they would still use the airline.

Foster said the alleged poll-rigging campaign “was not sanctioned or approved by me, and I was unaware of it until we received your [The Star’s] email query”.

Transport Minister Sbu Ndebele this week requested an investigation to determine if the airline should be grounded.
Airlink had its third accident in three months on Monday, when one of its planes shot off the runway in wet weather, injuring three people. – Sapa
