Accident: Kuwait A306 near Kuwait on Nov 10th 2010, smoke in cabin

Har aldri hørt at et selskap har gjort slike grep, sparken, advarsel, si opp selv, men en klage. Er dette en standard prosedyre innen luftfart?


A Kuwait Airways Airbus A300-600, registration 9K-AMA performing flight KU-283 from Kuwait City (Kuwait) to Dhaka (Bangladesh) with 226 passengers and 12 crew, was in the initial climb out of Kuwait's runway 33R when the crew reported smoke in the cabin and returned to Kuwait for a safe landing about 10 minutes after departure. The airplane stopped on the runway and was evacuated via slides. 3 passengers and 1 crew received injuries.


Kuwait Airways found in their internal investigation, that a smoke detector falsely triggered due to humidity. The captain did not follow procedures, training and checklists which would have avoided the return and would have prevented an evacuation. -> As a result the airline filed a complaint against their captain with Kuwait's Civil Aviation Authority for non-compliance with required standard operating procedures and non-cooperation in the investigation.
