Iraqi Airways torna a volare in Europa - BANNATA


Re: Iraqi Airways torna a volare in Europa

Credo vi siano costi operativi legati alla sicurezza tali da rendere la rotta anti-economica per molte compagnie.
 
Re: Iraqi Airways torna a volare in Germania

Altrimenti, se ricordo bene la flotta di Iraqi Airways era composta, fino alle sanzioni, da Boeing (747, 737 e 727).
747 erano SP e 200, gli SP sono a Touzier (Tunisia). e poi c'erano gli Il-76. I 707 vennero mandati in Giordania, dove tutt'oggi marciscono ad Amman insieme ai 727.
 
Re: Iraqi Airways torna a volare in Europa

Ho qualche contatto in rampa a BGW (si lo so, lo scopo è sempre quello, ricercare le safety card irachene di cui sono appassionato), da quel che so posso dire che:

l'A300-600R governativo che veniva utilizzato soprattutto nell'immediato post-Saddam, ora è stored
I 744 sono due, all'ex-JAL si è aggiunto da poco un ex-Malaysia, entrambi hanno mantenuto intatta la configurazione di origine e piu' che trasporto VIP (anche se l'intenzione è quella) sono stati usati soprattutto nei voli Haji (insieme coi 763 ex Gulf)
Da qualche mese per il trasporto governativo a medio raggio usano uno dei nuovi 738

La flotta di Iraqi è disomogenea.
Che necessità hanno di un 772 LR?
 
Re: Iraqi Airways torna a volare in Europa

Iraqi Airways has been banned from the European Union (EU) and four other European nations following a series of alleged safety lapses and inability to provide documentation to the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA).
Iraqi Airways was notified of the ban on July 16, but only came to light over the weekend after the Swedish Transport Agency barred the Iraqi flag carrier from its airspace.
The European move came after Iraqi Airways last year applied for a Third Country Operator (TCO) authorization from EASA, a permit required for airlines based outside the EU, but operating traffic in one or more of its member states.
The TCO system is being introduced to simplify permission for non-EU carriers to operate within the 28-nation EU plus the four European Free Trade Association nations of Norway, Switzerland, Iceland and Liechtenstein. Instead of each non-EU airline having to apply to each national aviation regulator within the EU, It submits a single application to EASA.
EASA letter
In a July 16 letter from EASA executive director Patrick Ky to Iraqi Airways’ CEO Osama Al-Sadir—seen by ATW—the EASA chief said that initial analysis of data from Iraqi Airways had led the agency to request a “technical consultation meeting” in Cologne in the spring.
As a precursor to the meeting, documentation such as operational manuals had to be submitted to EASA. Iraqi Airways had failed to provide this documentation, Ky said.
“Furthermore, after the receipt of your TCO application, EASA has received credible and specific safety reports containing examples of alleged failures to comply with applicable international (ICAO) safety standards by Iraqi Airways and the Iraqi CAA.”
ATW understands from unidentified sources that 600 non-EU airlines had applied for TCO authorization. Most had been granted with few problems, but a small number of airlines were subject to greater scrutiny because of their perceived high-risk status.
Stranded passengers
He said the decision to ban Iraqi Airways was not merely because of failures to supply documentation, but concerns over multiple reported safety issues. The decision to ban Iraqi Airways was not taken lightly “because we know it will have an operational impact.”
It is believed, for example, that several hundred Iraqi Airways passengers in Sweden are now unable to take their planned flights home.
In an Aug. 5 letter to Iraqi Airways revoking its traffic permit, Simon Posluk, head of the Market, Environment and Analysis Unit in the Swedish Transport Agency’s Civil Aviation and Maritime Department said the ban applied to aircraft registered on Iraqi Airways’ air operator’s certificate.
The agency “would … be prepared to consider applications for the use of wet-leased aircraft with necessary authorization.”
A UK Civil Aviation Authority spokesman confirmed Iraqi Airways could use wet-leased aircraft to continue its services to the UK, but that applications would have to be made to individual regulators for approval.
 
Re: Iraqi Airways torna a volare in Europa

Iraqi Airways (IA, Baghdad) has wet-leased a Hermes Airlines (H3, Athens Int'l) A320-200 - SX-BDS (cn 879) - from UAE-based lessor Aerovista for use on flights to Europe. The agreement is effective immediately.

The Iraqi national carrier was last week banned from using its own metal on flights to the European Union as well as Switzerland, Iceland, Norway and Liechtenstein after it failed to secure a Third Country Operators certificate (TCO) from the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA).

EASA said pre-TCO inspections had raised a number of concerns about the safety culture in place at both the airline and the Iraqi Civil Aviation Authority.

Iraqi Airways serves Berlin Tegel, Copenhagen Kastrup, Dusseldorf, Frankfurt Int'l, Gothenburg Landvetter, London Gatwick, Malmö, Manchester Int'l and Stockholm Arlanda in Europe.
