Gulf Air Disaster Investigation Report Advises Oman Civil Aviation to improve Pilot Training Programmes
 
Capt Shakeeb, aged 37 and his 25-year-old Omani co-pilot First Officer Khalaf Al Alawi, may have been spatially disorientated as they performed a tight orbit after a failed attempt to land at Bahrain International Airport, says the report. The co-pilot, First Officer Khalaf Al Alawi, should have taken control of the jet, but sat in silence as it plunged into the sea, killing all 143 people aboard. The Accident Investigation Board report found that Capt Shakeeb demonstrated "poor judgement, non-adherence to standard operating procedures (SOPs)" and committed an "exceptional violation".

    Story of Himamuddin involved in Rs.1000 crores Spare Parts Scandal in the UAE

    "Prominent Gulf Malayali" Himamuddin was adorned with a 'Ponnada' last year by NORKA Chief Giji Thomason as a token of recognition to the most prominent Gulf Malayali in the UAE.

Gulf is a route to make quick bucks for many people through illegal channel, but it is no more that easy due to strict vigilence by the Governments and law enforcement authorities. Since some of the Indians go out of their way to make quick bucks, they end up in trouble from which even the Indian government is unable to help them. It is high time that they realised the importance of following the rule book to take any crucial corporate decisions..Full Report.
