AirAsia in aviation crackdown after incidents

@TheNewDailyAU

The second involved a close mid-air shave between an AirAsia A330 and an Airbus A320 on the Gold Coast on July 21 that was still under investigation.

The AirAsia group was reportedly also involved in an incident at Perth Airport in February when the pilots of an Indonesia AirAsia flight approaching the airport at night were told to abort their landing because they were 300m too low.

The West Australian reported further that it had uncovered evidence that an Indonesia AirAsia plane involved in a fatal crash in December 2014 between Surabaya and Singapore had flown 38 return trips between Perth and Bali with the same recurring fault.

That same fault was blamed for the events led to the plane crashing, killing all 162 people aboard.

AirAsia X confirmed that it had upgraded flight management systems before the publication of last week’s ATSB report and developed a training package for crew on correct operation and alignment of air data and reference systems.

In a statement to The New Daily, the airline said “the safety of all guests and crew are our utmost priority at all times”.

“AirAsia X has in place robust management systems to monitor and prevent similar incidents from reoccurring.”

“The airline has regularly passed safety and security audits conducted by various international and local regulators. We remain committed to ensuring our compliance to all safety and security regulations.”

Oh well, with the changes to the Gold Coast ILS you now have more of these giant pieces of tin flying closer to land and over buildings. Nothing here for CAsA to see, nothing to do, all go home now.
