As Russian investigators are working hard to piece together the cause behind last month’s tragic crash of a commercial 737 jet, which killed all 50 people on board, fingers are being pointed at the operations of the airline itself. Multiple reports by Russian news media including The Moscow Times claim that Rosaviatsia, Russia’s Federal Air Transportation Agency, has recommended revoking the operating certificate of Tatarstan Airlines, which operated the crashed 737.
The reasoning behind the harsh recommendation is that the airline’s pilots may not have been properly trained and the crew schedules don’t allow for sufficient rest times.
