When a South African Airways Airbus A340-600 landed in Johannesburg from Accra, Ghana on 15 April last year, all was not as it seemed. During the flight, the planeโs engines started surging โ an unusual occurrence for any aircraft as it may suggest contaminated fuel and demands urgent action from the flight crew. Alarmingly, though, the flightโs commander chose to continue flying back to O.R. Tambo International Airportโฆ It was the third in a series of four recent incidents involving SAA. But, while other airlines have been grounded over safety concerns, the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) - mandated with regulating our airspace - has taken no action against the national carrier. Our probe uncovers evidence that all is not well at the CAA, undermining our countryโs reputation for sterling air safety.
