Brazil air crash must spur action to prevent another tragedy

20/07/07

The ITF has warned that an accident as bad as this week’s terrible plane crash in São Paulo could happen again if remedial action is not taken. An accident was, the Federation says, preventable and predicted.

Ingo Marowsky, Secretary of the ITF’s Civil Aviation Section, explained: “Our hearts go out to the families of all those affected. But even while the investigation continues we must also work to make sure that this kind of tragedy does not happen again. We and the Brazilian trade unions have repeatedly stated that safety was being compromised. There is no better proof of this than that union representatives were meeting with management in the TAM building at the time of the crash to complain about safety.”

He continued: “It gives us no pleasure to say that Latin American aviation is on the verge of a crisis. I hope that everyone concerned – governments, airlines and trade unions – will now commit themselves to an emergency meeting to address that fact and see what can be done to pull the aviation sector there back from the brink.”

The ITF also backed a full investigation into the crash including, if the investigation demands it, prosecution of those who allowed the situation to degenerate to such a hazardous state. It also called for the immediate release of two air traffic controllers who had been courageous enough to warn that this kind of accident was likely, and for a review to increase safety and working standards.

The ITF stated that the need to for a plan to improve the industry in Brazil and the Mercosur countries was predicted several years ago by trade unions, who, as long ago as 2004, helped the ITF draw up just such a plan (see related documents, below)
