Brev fra det Irske Department of Transport til Amerikanske DoT
- Tilbakeviser påstander om at
NAI driver på en måte som er en sikkerhetsrisiko
- Tilbakeviser påstander om bekvemelighets-flagg m.m.
Quote:
The Department and the IAA reject suggestions that, on the basis that NAI will
not be operating from this country, Ireland will be unable to effectively oversee
the safety of the company's operations. Such commentary represents a
misunderstanding of how the safety oversight of international airlines operates
in practice and how it is successfully carried out by EU civil aviation regulators
in full accordance with EU law.
Claims have also been made in some of the comments in the on-line docket that
NAI's Irish AOC is a 'flag of convenience', a claim that the Department also
rejects. The facts are that NAI is an Irish domiciled business entity and is a
subsidiary of the parent company, Norwegian Air Shuttle. All accountable
post-holders of NAI are based in Ireland, with a significant number of staff
based at its Irish office at Dublin airport. The IAA would not support the
maintenance of an AOC to any operator unless this safety requirement was fully
adhered to.
