Air Blue Chided by Sindh High Court


The Sindh High Court Issued a demand for the public release of Air Blue’s report of the crash inMargalla Hills on July 28, 2010.

152 died in that crash in July of 2010, nearly a year and a half ago, and the report has still not been released.

Whatever the errors were that occurred, the report should have been released by now, especially after Air Blue made several commitments to release dates of that report. Full disclosure of accident reports is really the only way to learn from the past, and prevent future incidents. Also, it is unnecessarily cruel to keep families of the victims waiting, some of whom who are engaged in lawsuits whose results won’t be determined until after the reports are released.

Airblue’s CEO did not appear in court, even though his presence was specifically requested by the court. A lawyer, Masood A Khan, appeared in his stead and requested more time.

Airblue Flight 202 Candlelight Vigil

Near Fawara Chowk, some family members of the tragic Airblue Flight 202 flight commemorated their losses with candles, and photos of their loved ones.

Dissatisfied with the way the investigation is being handled, the family members are refusing to suffer in silence. They want transparency, and they want the investigation to continue. The family members have formed the Airblue Crash Victim’s Affectee Group, to give the 152 families the opportunity to join together and speak in one voice.

The Peshawar High Court Demands Air Blue Inquiry

An independent board of inquiry for determining the causes of the crash was petitioned by politician Marvi Memon.

Interior Minister Rehman Malik gave a two month timeframe for the release of the Air Blue report. It still has not been released due to “political pressure.”

The families have persistent unanswered questions regarding the Air Blue crash in the Margalla Hills in Islamabad. One hundred fifty two people died in that crash in July 2010. As of Thursday, the PHC expects the written submissions (complete statements) from all respondents on the next court date.

Counsel Omar Farouk Adam requested that the Air Blue Fleet be grounded until the report is made public. According to Chief Justice Ejaz Afzal Khan, relief for the victims families must be “fixed” in the inquiry prior to the court ordering interim relief.
