  • Well, all airlines certified by Nepal (it’s not the only country concerned by this, but it is concerned) are banned from flying in Europe for safety reasons.

    It’s not specified why, but reasons can be lack of oversight, lax regulations. All of that usually causes maintenance issues, lack of training, bad safety processes.

    I also read the report, which states that the main factors for the crash are

    • lack of training (including crew resource management)
    • non compliance with standard operating procedure
    • challenging visual approach causing high workload

    So basically the pilots were experimented (they were definitely not new pilots at all), but the approach was difficult, did not meet safety standards, documentation for it was not up to date, and pilots were not sufficiently trained, and did not respect standard procedure in the cockpit either.

    That’s a systemic error and it would have happened at one moment, regardless of the pilots.
