    Air Charter International Takes Victims Out of Egypt

    DUBAI, UAE, February 16, 2011 — As the morning dawns on another day of anger and dissension in Egypt, expats in the country in fear for their lives are making arrangements to flee.

    Air Charter International has been key in aiding the innocent victims of this political unrest by getting them safely out of Egypt. “To date we have chartered numerous rescue flights out of Egypt over a span of a few days,” said Claire Brugirard, Commercial Sales Manager at Air Charter International.

    She stated that all of these were executive and passenger evacuations out of Egypt. “Given the state of affairs in the country at the moment, our team faced several challenges in providing emergency response.”

    However, Mrs. Brugirard reiterated that with their extensive experience in the Middle East and by working around the clock, they were able to take over 1000 passengers to safety.
    “When we learned of what was happening in Egypt, our team quickly compiled a list of aircraft that could be useful in this situation. So when clients called us we were instantly able to provide information on all the most suitable available aircraft.”

    Mrs. Brugirard said that Air Charter International sourced a number of suitable and reliable aircraft ideal for emergency evacuation.

    For this level of crisis management, Air Charter International chartered B737-800, B737-400, Hawker 800 and King Air 200. “We chose these aircraft because they were the most economical and ideal for the range of destinations which expatriates were being evacuated to.”

    Air Charter International successfully evacuated over a 1000 passengers to areas such as Amman, Prague, Dubai and Washington DC.

    “Our dedicated sales team worked 24 hours a day to ensure that every single person that chartered with us got to their destination safely and comfortably. We were glad to do our part in helping the innocent victims of this sudden violence.”

    Urgent Evacuation From Politically Unstable Area

    DUBAI, UAE, February 7, 2011 — In the past few weeks the world watched with pride and shock as the citizens of Middle Eastern Egypt stood up in unison to the almost thirty years of dictatorship from the existing government.

    This political unrest caused a panic among expats in the country and official consulates began making arrangements for the evacuation of their citizens in Egypt.

    Air Charter International was commissioned to transport these passengers from Alexandria to Prague and Washington DC. The Commercial Sales team at Air Charter International worked 24/7 on making sure that all passengers were transported safely out of Egypt.
    “Because of the urgency of the situation, it was imperative that we get our clients out of Egypt immediately,” said Commercial Sales Manager Claire Brugirard. The first flight to Prague departed on the 31st of January and the second flight to Washington DC departed on the 1st of February.

    “Since the first priority was to get the passengers to a safe point outside Egypt, both flights were sent to Prague,” said Ms. Brugirard. She further explained that the second flight reached Prague and was then rerouted to Washington DC from there.

    Air Charter International’s Commercial Sales team sourced a Boeing 737-800 for the journey. “We sourced two of these proven passenger aircraft for the trip because they were the safest and most economical for our clients.”

    Ms. Brugirard further stated that the Boeing 737-800 is also spacious enough to accommodate last minute passengers, common during emergency evacuations.

    “It happened on these flights as well. On the first flight we had an additional 13 passengers and on the second we had 1 more passenger, all which joined at the last minute. In anticipation of these additional passengers we enlisted a B737-800 for these flights.”
    The Commercial Sales team at Air Charter International did encounter some challenges while organizing these flights. “Due to the ongoing political unrest in Egypt, there was difficulty in establishing a steady communication with the local authorities.”

    This, Ms. Brugirard explained, made obtaining permits, that were also requested on short notice extremely difficult. “Our team worked around the clock to ensure that all the paperwork was in order so that the US citizens and students were safely evacuated out of Egypt.”

    Experts in crisis management, Air Charter International’s Commercial Sales team monitored both emergency charter flights from start to finish. “At all times we kept an eye on status of these flights and the clients fully informed on their progress.”

    The Union of Canadian Transportation Employees (UCTE) is Pleased that the B.C. Supreme Court Ruling Affecting Aviation Liability Supports UCTE Positions on Safety Management Systems (SMS) Implementation

    OTTAWA, Feb. 7 – “The Union of Canadian Transportation Employees (UCTE) is pleased that the recent B.C. Supreme Court ruling (2010 BCSC 1744) supports much of what we have been saying about our concerns with Safety Management System (SMS) implementation,” stated National President Christine Collins.

    The ruling came about when Transport Canada resisted amendments to a lawsuit brought about by the surviving spouses of a pilot and his passenger killed in a helicopter crash in 2005. The amendments sought to include liability allegations against Transport Canada given that this department had delegated Ministerial oversight powers to a private contractor under the current SMS regime.

    UCTE represents Transport Canada airworthiness inspectors and, according to Collins, “we have been saying for more than five years that SMS at Transport Canada is not being implemented with the full safety of the public in mind.” In 2009, UCTE published its own Aviation SMS Policy recommendations entitled ‘What’s not Right and Why Change is Necessary’. One of the key recommendations is that Transport Canada should not be delegating Ministerial powers to private contractors or Associations, especially those that have a clearly identified conflict of interest.

    “We need significantly more government oversight of contractors, not less, especially over private contractors who are allowed to certify the airworthiness of aircrafts under Transport Canada delegation,” noted Collins.

    “This case speaks to the critical need to have sufficient numbers of highly trained and experienced inspectors that work for Transport Canada, with the authority and delegations to oversee all private sector safety activities,” concluded Collins. This is essential to ensure the safety of the travelling public.

    UCTE will follow closely the hearings that are slated to begin in May of 2011, now that the additional liability allegations against Transport Canada have been allowed to stand.

    The Union of Canadian Transportation Employees (UCTE) is a Component of the Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC). UCTE represents over 8 000 members working at Transport Canada, the Transportation Safety Board, the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (Canadian Coast Guard), airports, private employers, NAV Canada and the Parks Canada Agency.

    Special flight safety checks are being carried out at New South Wales and Victorian aerodromes this week.

    NSW and Victorian aerodrome flight safety checks

    Special flight safety checks are being carried out at a range of New South Wales and Victorian aerodromes this week.

    There will be a series of low-level flights to make sure flight paths at the aerodrome continue to operate safely.

    A twin-engine Cessna Conquest aircraft will be used to conduct the safety checks within an area up to 35 kilometres from the local aerodrome.

    The two pilots flying the aircraft will ensure navigation aids are operational and not suffering interference, as well as looking for any new obstacles that could be a danger to aviation safety.

    The Civil Aviation Safety Authority requires these checks to be carried out every three years to maintain a high level of air safety at all aerodromes.

    Low-level flying is an essential part of the safety exercise, with aircraft down as low as several hundred feet at times.

    Local residents may notice an uncommon flying pattern, but this is to make sure obstacles are accurately marked on charts and no new obstacles exist. Obstacles can be towers, trees, masts or buildings that can be a danger to aircraft.

    The checks are scheduled to be carried out between 7 and 14 February 2011.

    Aerodromes undergoing flight safety checks this week include Moruya, Cooma, Corryong, Wangaratta, Warracknabeal, Swan Hill, Shepparton, Tocumwal, Tumut, Polo Flat, Albury, Corowa, Yarrawonga, Nhill, Deniliquin, Echuca, and Wagga Wagga.

    If poor weather or other factors do not allow the safety checks to go ahead on the planned days they will be carried out as soon as possible.

    CASA has contracted the operation of the special check flights out to Radiola Aerospace Pty Ltd – a company with wide international expertise in these specialist operations.

    ATSB: Aviation safety highlighted in bulletin

    The importance of maintaining situational awareness and the risks of pilot distraction are two of the major safety lessons featured in the latest edition of the ATSB’s investigation bulletin, released today.

    Situational awareness was a factor in air proximity events, breakdowns of separation, ground handling and wirestrikes. An example of a situational awareness issue occurred when a Pilatus PC-12/45 and Aeronautica MacchiAL60 passed within close proximity to each other while flying. This incident highlighted the need for aircrew to conduct diligent radio broadcasts and continual visual scanning to minimise the risk of collision.

    The bulletin also identified how pilot distractions can affect the safety of aircraft operations. This was highlighted when the pilot of a Cessna 206 was distracted by other traffic operating in the area and consequently did not change the fuel tank selection. This resulted in an engine failure and subsequent forced landing.
    Other safety lessons featured in the bulletin cover:

    the importance of pilots using all available resources to confirm clearances from the air traffic control
    the importance of not over-extending an aircraft glide after an engine failure
    the difficulties associated with managing an in-flight engine failure at low altitude
    the steps pilots can take to avoid wirestrikes, especially when flying in unfamiliar areas

    the techniques pilots can use to maintain separation from other aircraft.
    Released quarterly, the bulletin provides a summary of the less-complex factual investigation reports conducted by the ATSB. The results, based on information supplied by organisations or individuals involved in the occurrence, detail the facts behind the event, as well as any safety actions undertaken or identified. The bulletin also highlights important safety messages for the broader aviation community, drawing on earlier ATSB investigations and research.

    The report is here
