Another plane crash
The CAA and investigative agencies have not completed the report of the Airblue crash and the administration has yet to release the compensation fund and insurance money to the victims’ families. It is a shameless state of affairs when these families are forced to form pressure groups to get what is their due right. This time, a JS Air spokesperson has confirmed that the black box of the aircraft has been recovered and that the technical team will investigate the fault — we hope this is done and the concluding report made public. The CAA has also ordered an inquiry into the crash. But what can we expect, when officials say that a report on the Airblue crash, which took place in July, could take up to a year? A transparent and prompt investigation, followed to the end, is the need of the hour, to assure that human life still has some value in this country and to restore people’s confidence in the system, particularly in the CAA.
