Immediate flying ban for all Swiss flying Ju 52's

[Marc-André Haldimann]

Hi there Gang,

A quick update regarding the demise of Ju-Air operated Ju 52/3m W.Nr. 6595 "HB-HOT" last 4 August 2018:

Given severe corrosion discovered on the wing spars, engine bearers and cabin floor braces the crashed machine - which are absolutely not crash-correlated, all further flying of the remaining planes is banned as of today until they are duly addressed.
