“The AOAG absolutely believes that it must be safety first and there could be absolutely no compromise on standards at all,” Nascimento told a press briefing yesterday.

Director General (DG) of the GCAA Retired Lieutenant Colonel Egbert Field has said that though the suspension was a drastic decision, it was made in the interest of ensuring the travelling public’s safety, following three crashes and the deaths of two pilots.
