CAA launches investigation into dangerous goods on passenger plane
The Director of Civil Aviation Graeme Harris today initiated an investigation into reports that the Air Force shipped potentially dangerous goods on an Air New Zealand passenger aircraft from Auckland to Vancouver on 23 August 2009.
“The CAA’s Manager Safety Investigation, Ben Smith, has been tasked with this investigation and I have called for an interim report to be completed within one week. The interim report will be made public,” Mr Harris said.
“We will work closely with the RNZAF, as our common interest in this is aviation safety. Once we have concluded the investigation, we will determine what steps should be taken next.
“In the meantime we will contact all airfreight agents and freight forwarders and remind them of their disclosure responsibilities to airline operators around the carriage of dangerous goods.”
