Flashermac Posted May 1, 2005 Report Share Posted May 1, 2005 First England, now this: Phuket Air not longer welcome on Dutch soil Today the Dutch aviation authorities (IVW) suspended all landing rights for Phuket Air with immediate effect. The landing rights are suspended after the IVW found one of the operating Phuket Air pilot without the required medical certificate. Phuket Air was warned by the IVW that should adhere more to the international regulations. 165 passengers are stranded in Bangkok and at this moment there is no solution to get the people back to Amsterdam. Earlier this week Phuket Air decided to operate 3 instead of 2 weekly flights between Bangkok and Amsterdam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samak Posted May 1, 2005 Report Share Posted May 1, 2005 better stick to the large bankrupt american carriers - there at least the american taxpayer's money guarantees a certain minimum level of maintenance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lazyphil Posted May 2, 2005 Report Share Posted May 2, 2005 <<YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!!! >> If true then the 7 pounds each for a return ticket to Linz, Austria I payed for our trip with ryanair should of scared us to death with fuel gushing on the runway and a senile pilot with blured vision and a hearing aid!

Old Hippie Posted May 2, 2005 Report Share Posted May 2, 2005 How long do you think that airline will stay in business, and maintain safety standards at that price? Guve it time. Hell, a few planes in the US fell out of the sky because of poor maintainance done at a "low cost, out sourced work center..." Hell, Timco here in the USA, a cheap over haul place just got busted for having illeagle immigrants working there. Not only were their immigration papers forged, so were their licenses and repair certificates, if they even had fake ones...this is a bad situation to say the least, trust me on this! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, absolute correct, i did a fly from Zurich to London with 'easyjet' last year. For an hour or 90 minutes, it seems ok, but for shure not for a longer distance. (In the meantime esayjet do not landing anymore in Zurich) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
