hte onbly thing i can say to back james up is that mk lost a 747 in halifax, canada a few years back.

as far as i know Das air cargo havent.

anyway this topic is dragging on about time it was closed ?

Thanks

Yeah MK have had a crash and DAS not but then again that might be due to snow that crashed the MK .Was it a fuel leak on one off the DAS planes that made this happen?. And Phil your right AF dont look safe lets Ban them 😀 But Ajet got banned due to a crash and other airlines in europe have had crash but they dont get banned :confused:

If we followed James’ line of logic then Air France must be grounded, they clearly don’t ‘look’ safe 😀

I’m not saying that DAS a/c are safe or not, but just because you have seen them gives you no right to make that claim, James.

astreus will use additional capacity 738’s from excel next summer. could turn up at MSE ??
just an asumption could well be there own 733’s correct.

I hear it is the PIK based 733

the DAS a/c are safe I seem them loads off times. Ok then ask me this why are they Banned cause I don’t know?

Why do you think it’s stupid for airlines with ‘serious safety deficiencies’ to be stopped from flying over our heads?

Because the DAS aircraft are safe 😉

change topic slightly but i noticed Kent escapes programme next year will be run ASTRAEUS aircraft 737-800’s or 757’s cool stuff…

Where you see this? and I think its 737-300 aircraft.

DAS Air is using two Gemini aircraft in Europe until the situation is resolved, their own fleet are flying in Africa etc.

Cool at least its still a DC-10 but I hope Das gets the lift 🙁

There’s a DAS flight routeing Benghazi-Ostend-Gatwick today. It not one of their 5X machines but a Gemini Air Cargo DC-10….Interesting.

Cheers mate for info lets hope they do get to lift the ban stupid European Commission

james

This is not a decision from the EC. The ban is implemented by the pan-European Joint Aviation Autorities (JAA). If one of the JAA members decide to ban an airline, then the other European aviation autorities will follow. Untill we hear which autority originally banned DAS, and the reason behind it, we can not point fingers.

URGENT STATEMENT FROM DAIRO AIR SERVICES/DAS AIR CARGO
ON THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION BAN LISTING.

Date: 16 October 2006 : 15:00 GMT

Issued By Dairo Air Services, Uganda/ DAS Air Cargo

Dairo Air Services, Uganda wishes to put on record, in the strongest terms, its
objection over the decision by the European Commission to include both Dairo
Air Services and DAS Air Cargo on the most recent list of carriers banned from
operating into and out of the European Union.

Neither Dairo Air Services or DAS Air Cargo received any prior notification that
the European Commission was considering such action, nor has any
justification for this decision been received by the Ugandan Civil Aviation
Authority, the airlines controlling authority. Therefore the company has been
unable to exercise any right of defence, which is embodied within the spirit
and letter of the European Union Directive which established the list.
The Ugandan Civil Aviation Authority and the Airline have always responded
to all communication from European airworthiness authorities when received;
it is after all in the interest of both parties to do so. If any communication
from the European Commission had been received prior to the publication of
the list then we are certain that through dialogue an operating ban would
have been avoided.

The ban entered into effect from Midnight on 14 October 2006 and as a
consequence, all operations to and from Europe have been suspended.
In an effort to protect the business the company is making strenuous efforts
to have the ban lifted, whilst a period of consultation can take place to
resolve any concerns that the European Commission may have.

Well, I saw it at AMS today. So either the list is wrong, or there is another DAS Air Cargo flying around? Could that be it?

BTW I’m not 100% on that – can anyone elaborate further?

if thats the case then this topic can be closed. LOL
I am all for DAs air cargo if they prove there worth. Manston on the other hand needs someone who is solid as an operator (i.e 0 mk airlines) and not jsut a new start up out to take over the world.

I was under the impression that DAS were only on a ‘yellow card’ list – like I think PIA. This is where they are just monitered carefully but face no restrictions.
