susi air safety

David Brent - my brother worked for Susi Air as a pilot and I've flown with them too. The rumours about the safety issues are just that, rumours. The staff always put safety first, perhaps things were different in the past but its a very good outfit now. Papua is a perilous place to fly for any pilot (have you tried?), just google some of the strip landings. Downdrafts are a huge issue in the mountains. There can be some admin frustrations with booking etc, but hey - its indo. The airline safety record is good, and this is the first serious incident.
