FAA to tighten charter airline inspections after Gander crash
The FAA will launch a two tier charter inspection program targeting two dozen Pentagon hired charter firms after 248 soldiers died in the Gander Newfoundland DC-8 crash. Arrow Air, based in Miami, is among firms under scrutiny with intensified checks on equipment crew qualifications and management. Smaller charter firms begin special focus reviews January 21 and larger firms receive heightened inspections as part of broader aviation safety plans. The Pentagon may participate in the charter inspections.
