Eagle Air Beech 1900D Alert

26 September 2007
Eagle Air Beech 1900D
During a routine maintenance inspection last night the Eagle Air engineering team identified an issue with an undercarriage component on a Beech 1900D aircraft.
Given that safety is paramount and
non-negotiable for Eagle Air, the airline is carrying out an
inspection of all its Beech 1900D fleet.
Eagle Air
has completed inspection of the undercarriage component of
14 aircraft using ultrasound equipment. Nine of these
aircraft have been certified and are back in service. Five
aircraft require replacement parts and will be back in
service within the next 48 hours. Eagle Air expects the
remainder of the fleet of 17 aircraft to have inspections
completed by the end of the day. The aircraft will re-enter
their scheduled services as soon as these inspections are
completed and the aircraft are recertified.
As a
result of the inspections, around 60 flights have been
cancelled, affecting approximately 1000
customers.
CAA and the aircraft manufacturer have
been notified of this development and are being kept
informed.
Eagle Air apologises to its customers for
any inconvenience caused by this precautionary measure.
A further update will be issued at 5pm.
