SAS REMOVES DASH 8-Q400 FROM FLEET

(1/1)

EHM-1651 Christian:
The board of Scandinavian Airlines has decided to withdraw the Dash 8-Q400 from service in all parts of the SAS group, after the last incident  at Copenhagen airport.
This means that SAS will stop flying this aircraft for good.

SAS PRESS RELEASE

EHM-1883 Matt:
Bit of a daring move, considering that SAS is responsible for 7 out of 12 accidents with this plane. Almost seems like SAS's fault rather than the planes themselves.

I'm not neccessarily saying SAS should be blamed for all this, and it's a bad idea to stop using this plane, I just think something seems wrong considering this plane was doing fine until the last two months where 7 incidents occured, all in the same airline.
