News: Spanish pilots claim new budget airline is unsafe
Flights > News > # 1305 (07/06/2007)
Spanish airline Clickair has been condemned by the Spanish airline pilots union as unsafe. The no-frills carrier, a recently launched subsidiary of Iberia, currently flies from Heathrow to La Coruna and Valencia, as well as Gatwick to Seville. On August 1 the budget airline will be launching flights from Edinburgh to Barcelona.
Pilots criticised Clickair, along with Air Pullmantur, Vueling and Air Comet, for infringements such as low-fuel landings, takeoffs with unresolved technical glitches, improper documentation and poor regulation of the amount of time aircraft spent in the air.
As pilots called for “zero tolerance” on aviation safety, Clickair was unavailable for comment.
