Something the report fails to highlight isthe fact this aircraft with its 57 unrecorded defects was owned by the operator.as a result any maintenance costs had to be carried right out of profits and there was no owner to hand them too.the commercial pressure to cut costs on maintenance is obvious.we all know the companys old citation bravo was very unreliable with many issues carried(remember the small matter of the fire extinguishers that were found to have been inop !!) All the more worrying since this was sometimes used for VVIP royals on the household contract.
