West Wind Aviation ATR 42 following the Dec. 13, 2017 accident at
Fond-du-Lac, Canada (TSB)
Transport Canada suspended West Wind Aviation's Air Operator Certificate on
December 22, which prohibits the company from providing commercial air
services.
The department took this serious action in the interest of public safety
because the department identified deficiencies in the company's Operational
Control System. An Operational Control System ensures that a company's
day-to-day actions are compliant with safety requirements for things such as,
for example, the dispatching of personnel and aircraft.
On December 13, 2017, a West Wind Aviation aircraft, with 25 people
onboard, crashed in Fond-du-Lac, Saskatchewan. Transport Canada identified
deficiencies during a post-accident inspection of West Wind Aviation from
December 18 to 20, 2017. As a result, in the interest of public safety,
Transport Canada suspended West Wind Aviation's Air Operator Certificate and
will not allow the company to resume its commercial air service until it
demonstrates compliance with aviation safety regulations.
