Wimbi Dira Airways stops ops into FAJS

WDA has stopped its weekly cargo operation between FZQA and FAJS citing poor load factors and too many CAA ramp inspections!

Too many ramp inspections, eh? Either they're being targeted or they have something to be worried about regarding their operation.

Dodgy operator from all accounts!! Do their heavy maintenance in the open air in FZAA. Were seen with a log holding the cargo door of their B727 200F open at FAJS! Flew into Fajs without Jepps?????????

Like I've said in another post...on a different thread...

The NDoT and the SACAA seems to be in the same stable as SAA don't they. Route protection (internationally), no YD (open skies) implemetation,
...Victimization My emphasis...

You guys may be right but...

Is Hewa Bora still operating into FAJS? WBA is a better run bunch than Hewa in my opinion, albeit different loads, cargo versus pax. Although both are a little dodgy....

and too many CAA ramp inspections!
I remember a B727 arriving at Lanseria from Kinshasa a few years ago with 800 parrots in the back. They didn't expect an inspection either and the inspectors didn't expect to find so many parrots in the back. I wonder what happened to all those birds......I put my name on the redistribution list early, but......

either: 1/ the parrots were passed on to a certain well known Dutch airline who shredded them like they did a batch of squirrels and a few small dogs

or 2/ the parrots are sitting somewhere swearing in french at being back in kinshasa.
