Esce in Francia "La face cacheé d'AirFrance", libro-denuncia sulla safety del vettore

Prendo spunto da un post di Cipoll@zzi per dare maggior risalto alla cosa.

Esce in settimana in Francia questo libro denuncia sulla safety di AF.
Non so quanto potrà essere "seria" e suffragata da elementi oggettivi questa indagine, ma ho la tentazione di ordinare il libro su Amazon.fr.

Un livre, qui sort mercredi, met en doute la sécurité de la compagnie aérienne.
L’année 2009 aura été une année noire pour Air France. Alors que le crash de l’AF447 survenu en juin dernier est encore dans toutes les mémoires, un livre révèle que la compagnie ne figure pas parmi les plus sûres en termes de sécurité.
La Face cachée d’Air France, de Fabrice Amédéo, publié chez Flammarion, va faire frémir les voyageurs. Le livre revient sur la terrible année 2009 : le crash du vol AF 447 Rio-Paris, mais aussi sur une série d’accidents inexpliqués.

Un taux de crashs supérieur à la moyenne

L’ouvrage lève également le tabou de la sécurité avec un constat détonant : Air France est beaucoup moins sûre que ses concurrents. Pourtant la compagnie jouit d’une bonne réputation. Mais les chiffres avancés par le livre montrent que la compagnie connaît un taux d’accident supérieur à la moyenne mondiale.
La compagnie a un pourcentage de crashs "0,9% par million de vols, contre 0,7% pour la moyenne mondiale", souligne Fabrice Amédéo. "Et ses concurrents tels que British Airways et Lufthansa sont entre 0 et 0,3%", ajoute l’auteur du livre en soulignant que certains incidents se répètent comme des décollages ratés au cours desquels la queue de l’appareil touche le sol.
 
La risposta di AF non si è fatta attendere...

Air France respecte et se conforme à toutes les réglementations nationales et internationales en vigueur. Auditée régulièrement par l’autorité de tutelle française et par des organismes accrédités par l’IATA (certification IOSA), la sécurité de la compagnie répond aux standards les plus exigeants de l’industrie aéronautique internationale.
Tous les événements cités dans les questions posées ont fait l’objet d’une analyse approfondie dans le cadre du retour d’expérience interne d’Air France qui a mis en œuvre, lorsque cela a été jugé utile, des mesures correctives.
Air France travaille continuellement sur des axes d’amélioration de la sécurité des vols qui a toujours été au cœur de ses préoccupations.
Ainsi, en 2010, Air France a mis en place le projet "Trajectoire" qui s'étalant sur deux ans, doit proposer et étudier des initiatives visant à l’amélioration de la sécurité des vols. Ce projet doit également accompagner la mise en œuvre des recommandations que la Mission d’Expertise Externe livrera en décembre 2010. Ce travail est mené en concertation totale avec toutes les organisations professionnelles des pilotes, avec pour but d’engager de nouvelles initiatives s’intégrant dans le processus d’amélioration continue de la sécurité aérienne.

'Second most deadly': Air France slammed over safety

May 20, 2010 - 10:51AM

Air France-KLM's safety record came under harsh scrutiny yesterday as a shock new book added to the problems facing Europe's biggest airline as it announced record losses.
The company's recent record of disastrous crashes was already on the front pages of the press even as executives announced losses of 1.55 billion euros ($A2.26 billion) between March 2009 and March 2010.
The Hidden Face of Air France, an investigation by journalist Fabrice Amedeo into what he alleges are failures in Air France's management culture, accuses Air France executives of having a lax attitude to flight safety.

Air France rejects the allegations.
Air France flights have fallen victim to several accidents in recent years and, according to the French daily Liberation, statistics compiled online rank its safety record as only the 65th best in the world.
And with 1783 fatalities in its history, according to a tally compiled by the Swiss-based website "Aircraft Crashes Record Office", Air France has been the second most deadly airline for passengers after Russia's Aeroflot.
Germany's Lufthansa, which is of similar size and age, is in 43rd place.
In June last year Air France flight 447 from Rio to Paris broke apart and plunged into the Atlantic with the loss of all 228 people on board.
The cause of the crash has not been officially determined, but investigators found that cockpit flight computers were receiving incorrect airspeed readings and Air France has since replaced speed probes on its other jets.
An undersea search has so far failed to find the missing black box flight data recorders, but lawyers acting for the victims' families have accused the airline of knowingly flying with probes known to be at risk of icing up.
In the new book, Amedeo suggests the pilots might have been able to save the flight if their Airbus A330 had been equipped with a safety system known as a BUSS of a type Lufthansa fitted to all its planes in 2008.
In July 2000 an Air France Concorde supersonic airliner caught fire after take off from Paris and exploded, killing all 113 on board.
In August 2005, and Air France flight into Toronto skidded on the runway on arrival and broke apart. Miraculously, no-one was killed.
"Air France has a fleet of ultramodern planes, and its pilots are among the best in the world ... but its safety statistics are those of a second division company," writes Amedeo in his book.
"The problem appears not to be technical but cultural," he says, accusing the airline's executives of a "certain laxity" in responding to incidents and adapting their safety procedures.
The company responded to Liberation's account of the book with a statement.
"Air France's safety standards meet the most stringent requirements in the international aviation industry," it said.
"Air France is continuously working on improving flight safety which has always been one of its main priorities."
Air France shares were trading down 4.61 per cent on the Paris exchange as markets awaited confirmation of the annual results, which were expected to be the company's worst since its 2004 merger with Dutch carrier KLM.

si è parlato del libro di Fr....adesso vediamo con questo.....o qualcuno/a è pronto a dire: "libro fazioso,tutto falso!,viva le major!".........
 
AF è molto pignola nelle procedure..ma pignoleria non è sinonimo di sicurezza.........
 
BRUFCO-AZ ha detto:

Per tornare in tema, questo libro sta sucitando una marea di polemiche in Francia.

Per tornare In Topic (!), rinfresco a tutti la memoria su questo fatto, piuttosto interessante, risalente a Settembre 2009.

Air France Asks Delta to Help Assess Safety Practices


PARIS -- Air France has taken the unusual step of asking U.S. partner Delta Air Lines Inc. to help assess its internal safety practices following the crash of an Air France jetliner in June that killed 228 people.
"We have asked our American partner to conduct an external analysis," said Véronique Brachet, a spokeswoman for the French carrier. But she said talks with Delta, which has a marketing alliance with Air France, haven't been finalized.
A Delta spokeswoman declined to comment.



Air France Chief Executive Pierre-Henri Gourgeon said in a recent interview that the Air France-KLM SA unit would commission outside analysts to review its safety practices, in part because the crash remains unsolved. Mr. Gourgeon wants these analysts to do a top-to-bottom review and come up with a handful of big ideas to help Air France improve its long-term approach to safety.
"Safety is a dynamic thing," he said. "The risk is to say, 'We've done our work, so let's stop.'"
French search teams have been unable to locate wreckage of the Air France Airbus A330, which plunged from high altitude into deep waters about halfway between Brazil and Senegal. As a result, it remains unclear what role various factors played in the crash. Bad weather, technical problems and pilot error are all suspected of having contributed, but without more evidence, the airline and regulators are stymied in efforts to prevent a recurrence.
The crash has focused attention on Air France's safety record and pilot training. The carrier has had four significant accidents since 1999. Mr. Gourgeon said that before the crash, Air France's accident record was better than the global airline-industry average but now is average.
Mr. Gourgeon said the crash has been traumatic for employees and has increased tensions within the airline. He said that since the accident, Air France has seen a slight uptick in absenteeism among long-haul flight attendants. He acknowledged the airline has been repeatedly criticized by some of its smaller pilots unions for perceived safety lapses.
Gérard Arnoux, head of SPAF, one of those small unions, said: "There is a problem with our safety culture. Our ranking is not good."
Mr. Gourgeon said he hopes the planned analysis will address such concerns. He said the cause of the crash may never be known, so Air France is addressing a broad range of possible problems behind it. "Even if we don't know the reason, people must be certain that no stone has been left unturned," he said.
Delta has a strong safety record. Its namesake carrier hasn't had an accident or significant safety incident since 1998, according to the Aviation Safety Network, a Web site that tracks such events. But Delta's Comair unit had a fatal crash in 2006.
In the late 1990s, Korean Air, then plagued by safety lapses, tackled those problems in part by enlisting Delta's aid; Delta, which had refused to sell tickets on Korean Air flights, conducted a safety audit for the carrier. But rarely, if ever, has a major Western airline like Air France turned to another for safety recommendations.
Since the June crash, Air France has already increased pilot training and altered some of its safety routines, Mr. Gourgeon said.
