Two major incidents in the same day, passengers going to Mayaguana had a narrow escape
Surprisingly, not one but two major security lapse incidents came to light with Flamingo Airline on Friday. Bahamas Aviation Minister Jobeth Colby-Davies revealed in a press conference that another plane from the airline was flying to Mayaguana just before the fatal crash. Then the pilot realized that there was a serious technical fault in the plane.
The pilot showed wisdom and immediately made an emergency landing back at Nassau Airport. The matter of relief was that as soon as all the passengers were brought down safely, a massive fire suddenly broke out in the plane. After these two serious incidents that happened on the same day, the Aviation Ministry has suspended the ‘Air Operator Certificate’ of Flamingo Air with immediate effect, keeping the safety of passengers paramount.
