Crippled Aircraft
This site has highlighted the ills and wayward ways of one Don Smith, the CEO of Fly 540.
This is a guy that murdered 10 Kenyans in the 2018 crash at Aberdares forest.
A source had hinted that Don Smith cuts corners in terms of servicing the plane. At one time, there was an incident where one aircraft 5Y-BXD CRJ 100 had a major issue .
One of its engines was consuming a lot of oil, after every flight. To simplify, a CRJ aircraft should consume an average of 2 quarts (approximately a litre) per day depending on flight as well. The engineers in this airline wrote emails, handed over books on how this engine was unsafe for flight, and what did the company do? Money first. Rogue DON SMITH let it fly. The airline was very aware of how dangerous this was, but they never took any precaution.
The engine failed at flight on its way to Juba, South Sudan; it came back with one engine and landed in JKIA.
Please note this failure would have been avoided. This would have cost lives like 5Y-CAC, so you can imagine all those systems that were not working on 5Y-CAC.
Don Smith is a murderer.
It would be well that Kenyan start using other safer airlines, and for safety and standards to be adhered to, Kenyans working in local and international airlines to report these issues so that we can highlight.
Kenyan airspace is safe, but it can be safer if we call out airlines like Fly 540 and its rogue CEO Murderer Don Smith.
Late last year, a wheel on a Fly 540 aircraft came off after landing at Eldoret International Airport. This incident was kept under wraps by Fly 540 management and Kenya Civil Aviation Authority (KCAA), despite having received several complains on the Fly540 planes, which are prone to accidents.
Don Smith continues to mistreat employees even as the below post confirms
https://nyakundireport.com/fly-540-and-how-its-mismanagement-has-seen-disaster-like-the-recent-fly-sax-crash/ It didn’t start with Fly 540, there’s another company that Rogue Don Smith brought to its knees. Don Smith was the chief finance officer (CFO) at Flamingo tours, a company which he brought to it's knees by looting so that he can get capital for FlySax and East African Companies. He loves women and most employs young ladies. He is rumored to be keeping a lady by the name of Winnie, who works in her office. Stop this madness. The damaged landing gear of the FLy 540 aircraft
