An exploration of strict liability for airline incidents is pertinent following the extraordinary circumstances of a recent Singapore Airlines flight, John Connellan writes.
The International Air Services Commission (IASC) has greenlit the airline’s expansion of its Vanuatu services, which will allow it to operate an extra seven flights per week using its 737 fleet and go from 176 to 182 seats on its reconfigured planes.
Carter Capner Law said it is currently investigating if the weather or human error is to blame for turbulence on board Singapore Airlines Flight 321 which left one dead and 43 passengers and crew injured.
In the Federal Court on Monday, Hall Chadwick argued that while around 300 employees remain in a “period of uncertainty” as they are stood down without pay and cannot claim certain benefits until the company is wound up, they and other creditors would be better off if the airline is sold.
The non-stop flights, beginning 28 November, will use China Southern’s 276-seater 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft. Services will operate on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays, and are expected to bring 86,000 seats and 5,000 tonnes of cargo capacity into the Perth market.
The flights, which will operate on Mondays, Fridays and Sundays starting 28 June, will be ticketed as a Rex service, making Perth–Adelaide the airline’s 12th domestic jet route. The service will commence on the same day as Rex’s new Perth–Melbourne route, which will use 737-800s.
