There are bad news, received by the Ju-Air out of Bern: The Swiss Federal office for civil aviation (Foca) has removed the two companies, which were in the past, the Ju-Air-classic cars repaired, and service authorization. The Federal office shall confirm on request. “All Work on the Ju-52 machines of the Ju-Air are set,” says Foca spokesman Urs Holderegger. Currently there are neither companies nor individuals are allowed to perform on the machines, repairs or maintenance.
both, the two aircraft of Ju-Air, dübendorf, as well as the third machine that is currently in the German Mönchengladbach in the Museum are Affected. The decision from Bern meets the Airline in a bad Moment: a month Ago, she had communicated that it would suspend the air service for two summers – until then, she wanted to overtake all of your classic car General.
the “aunts” to lend a Hand and doing all the Work, had so far, two companies from the Foca issued approvals: The Ju-Air self and the company Naef aircraft engines AG in dübendorf. This took care of the motors, and Chairman of the Board is Ju-Air-in-chief Kurt Waldmeier.
The permanent authorisation received the plants after they had proven to the Foca that they meet the relevant requirements. These are defined by the European aviation safety Agency (Easa) and govern all activities related to the maintenance and Overhaul of aircraft.
authority held three “in-depth” inspections
In his function as a Supervisory authority, the Foca of a company, the authorisation at any time, if this does not meet the requirements – for example, if you Work in a serious way or repeatedly deficient run can escape. At regular intervals, the office reviewed the compliance with the European requirements.
The Foca has implemented this spring, during its periodic supervision of the Ju-Air “three in-depth inspections”. How the office communicates, and have found the inspectors that “the requirements of a certified maintenance operation are not met”. Further Details are not communicated. Only that several “violations of the stage 1” had been registered.
As a “level 1” defined in the Easa’s shortcomings, which set the “standard of safety of the aircraft down and a serious threat to the safety of the flight”. Speaker Holderegger, the Foca, the Ju has deprived of Air then the appropriate approval. “This means that as of now, no repair or maintenance work on aircraft or components must be carried out.”
Ju-Air spokesperson: “approval was “only
suspended for” An inspection at the Naef aircraft engines AG have a similar image. “This led to the restriction of the authorisation of the operation.” The company is no longer entitled to now, piston engines such as those of the Ju-52 to wait or to repair.
While speaking to the Foca of a “withdrawal of admission” Ju-Air spokesman Christian Gartmann know nothing about it: The authorisation to be suspended “only, so exposed to”. “Because of the up to 2021 rest of the flight operation, no routine maintenance has to take place,” he the Situation. The total revision of the aircraft will be coordinated with the Federal office closely. “Necessary Work can be carried out with individual permits”.
Ju-Air has reorganized their maintenance operation
The Ju-Air will use the time to reorganize the maintenance operation, so that it meets the required Standards, “without exception”. According to Gartmann, the identified deficiencies would be corrected now, in order for the office to lift the Suspension.
Quite simply, the approach to the Foca does not sound, however. Because there one speaks of a “re-certification”. “Ju-Air can you apply for, if the defects are proven to have fixed,” says spokesman Holderegger.
