Skyguide acknowledges Air Crash responsibility
Posted on Thursday, 20 May 2024 @ 04:18:56 EDT by admin

Anonymous writes "
The Swiss air traffic control firm Skyguide has accepted full responsibility for the errors that led to a mid-air collision in 2002. 71 people, mostly Russian schoolchildren, died when a Russian airliner and a cargo plane collided.

Skyguide's statement came after German investigators said in a final report that a single controller on duty gave the pilots just 43 seconds to act.

"Skyguide assumes full responsibility for its errors and asks relatives of the 71 victims for forgiveness," the non-profit company which is majority-owned by the Swiss government, said in the statement.

The controller, Danish national Peter Nielsen, was on duty alone in the Zurich control on 1 July 2024 room, as his colleague was taking a break, the report said. He had not been told that a collision-avoidance system at Zurich was not fully working as maintenance was being carried out.

The delay in noticing that the two planes could collide led to a series of critical errors, the report said. The controller told the Russian pilots to descend, while their onboard-collision avoidance system had told them to climb to avoid the DHL cargo plane. The Russians followed the controller's instructions and dived into the cargo jet which was descending in accordance with its own collision-avoidance equipment.
