An 23 Iúil 2021, thug SSCAA freagra ar fhiosrúchán an Choimisiúin, agus chuir sé in iúl gur cuireadh AOC South Sudan Supreme Airlines ar fionraí.
On 23 July 2021, SSCAA replied to the Commission’s enquiry, informing that the AOC of South Sudan Supreme Airlines was suspended.
Le trí bliana anuas, tharla naoi dtionóisc agus teagmhas thromchúiseacha sa tSúdáin Theas, lena n-áirítear tuairteáil aerárthach Let-410 le clárú HK-4274 an 2 Márta 2021 a bhí á oibriú ag South Sudan Supreme Airlines, tuairteáil ba chúis le 10 mbás, agus an tionóisc a tharla le déanaí an 2 Samhain 2021 a bhain le haerárthach Antonov AN-26 le clárú TR-NGT, tionóisc ba chúis le cúig bhás.
In the last 3 years, nine accidents and serious incidents have occurred in South Sudan, including the crash, on 2 March 2021, of a Let-410 aircraft with registration HK-4274, operated by South Sudan Supreme Airlines and resulting in 10 fatalities, and the recent crash, on 2 November 2021, of an Antonov AN-26 aircraft with registration TR-NGT, and resulting in five fatalities.
Sa mhalartú comhfhreagrais a lean sin, chuir SSCAA in iúl go raibh Teastas Aeroibreora (“TAO”) South Sudan Supreme Airlines, a raibh a aerárthach i dtionóisc mharfach, curtha ar fionraí, agus go raibh SSCAA i mbun athbhreithniú ar na hoibreoirí uile aerárthaí agus na TAOnna uile sa tír mar gheall ar amhrais maidir le clárú an aerárthaigh a bhí sa tionóisc sin.
In the ensuing exchange of correspondence, SSCAA communicated that the Air Operator Certificate (‘AOC’) of South Sudan Supreme Airlines, whose aircraft was involved in a fatal accident, was suspended, and that due to suspicions related to the registration of the aircraft involved in that accident, SSCAA was reviewing all aircraft operators and AOCs in the country.
