Radio report at 1300 gives out that the CAA have suspended the AOC
After safety checks and daily monotoring of operations over the past few weeks they are satified the airline are unable to meet safety standards and have revoked the license.

That may explain why there was a strange looking prop on the cargo ramp at Edinburgh last night. As we came in to land there was a 4 engined prop with blades like shovels being loaded with mail. It was electra style but russian looking. Not sure of the type. It had AA logo on the tail, and a bird of prey on the fusalage, and at first I thought it was a new Atlantic Airlines logo. :shock:

I thought the only Ruskie's AA had were the Tu204 and An72 Ben :think: The Electra would make sense

Sorry to hear this news. Hopefully the issue can be addressed and resolved without too much of an impact on what already is a struggling little air firm. :sad: :sad: :sad:
