Flight safety watchdog grounds ice hockey crash airline
Russia's air safety watchdog Rosaviatsia on Wednesday grounded YAK-Servis, the company owned the Yak-42 airliner which crashed near Yaroslavl on September 7 killing the entire Lokomotiv Yaroslavl professional hockey team.
Russia's air safety watchdog Rosaviatsia on Wednesday grounded YAK-Servis, the company owned the Yak-42 airliner which crashed near Yaroslavl on September 7 killing the entire Lokomotiv Yaroslavl professional hockey team.
"Rosaviatsia decided to strip YAK-Servis of its air operator's certificate following the results of an unscheduled check into the company's work and because of the deadly crash outside Yaroslavl," Rosaviatsia said.
Shortly after the fatal crash Russian President Dmitry Medvedev instructed the government to take measures to ground airlines which do not meet flight safety standards in Russia.
There are 64 Yak-42 aircraft currently flying in Russia. The aircraft has one of the best safety records among Soviet-era civil airliners.
