Flamingo Air prizemljen nakon pada aviona na Bahamima — 10 poginulih, istraga u toku
With water so clear, it’s easy to spot marine life around Andros Island.
Vlasti na Bahamima privremeno su prizemljile lokalnu aviokompaniju Flamingo Air nakon pada aviona u kom je poginulo 10 osoba. Nesreća se dogodila 10. jula na Severnom Androsu, tokom pokušaja sletanja, a istragu vodi Agencija za istragu avionskih nesreća (AAIA).
Detalji nesreće
Prema AAIA, Cessna 402 registrovana kao C6-FLX poletela je iz Međunarodnog aerodroma Lynden Pindling u Nassauu i srušila se ubrzo nakon 13:00 lokalnog vremena dok je prilazila San Andros aerodromu. U avionu je bilo devet putnika i jedan pilot. Devet osoba je poginulo u požaru, a jedna je preminula kasnije od zadobijenih povreda, izjavio je šef istrage AAIA Kendall Dorsett Jr.
Žrtve i posledice
Među stradalima su pet članova bahamskog benda Da Pond Band — Giovanni McKenzie, Mateo Winder, Rashad Storr, Tonique Gilot i Travis Johnson — kao i muzičar Melvin Henfield poznat kao DJ Fresh, potvrdili su preživeli članovi grupe za medije. Nesreća se dogodila na dan državnog praznika — Dana nezavisnosti Bahama.
Reakcije vlasti i status kompanije
Ministarstvo saobraćaja saopštilo je da je Civilna avijacijska uprava Bahama privremeno suspendovala operativni sertifikat Flamingo Aira kao preventivnu bezbednosnu meru dok traje istraga AAIA. Svi letovi kompanije obustavljeni su 10. jula, a kompanija je počela da izdaje povraćaje 13. jula. Do 17. jula veb-sajt kompanije nije bio dostupan, a profili na društvenim mrežama su izbrisani ili postavljeni kao privatni.
Saopštenje Flamingo Aira: „Naše misli i molitve su sa porodicama i bližnjima putnika koji su poginuli u avionskoj nesreći od 10. jula na Severnom Androsu.“
Dodatni incident istog dana
Ranije istog dana piloti su prijavili problem sa drugim letom Flamingo Aira za ostrvo Mayaguana; avion se vratio u Nassau i, nakon iskrcavanja putnika, zapalio se, ali nije bilo povređenih, izjavila je ministarka JoBeth Coleby-Davis.
Rute i usluge
Pre tragedije Flamingo Air je saobraćao na niz relacija unutar Bahama (Bimini, Black Point, Farmers Cay, Freeport, Mangrove Cay, Marsh Harbour, Nassau, Rock Sound, Staniel Cay i Great Harbour Cay) i nudio čarter letove za Južnu Floridu, Kubu, Inagua i San Salvador, prema arhiviranoj verziji sajta kompanije.
Istraga AAIA je u toku; nadležni su poručili da će javnost biti obaveštavana o nalazima kako budu dostupni. Lokalni i međunarodni mediji prate dalji razvoj događaja.
