 Guardian | Crash airline banned by Swiss a year ago
Swiss aviation authorities said Flash Airlines, whose flight FSH604 from the Egyptian resort of Sharm el-Sheikh to Paris plunged into the Red Sea within minutes of takeoff, had been barred from Swiss airspace since October 2002 after a spot check on one of its jets uncovered safety problems.
She declined to give details, but said the airline had not done enough to allow the ban to be lifted.
The Egyptian aviation minister, Ahmed Shafiq, denounced the accusations as "baseless" and the chief pilot of Flash Airlines, Hassan Mounir, denied that the ban was due to safety concerns, saying it stemmed from "a financial problem".

 Guardian | Charter flights under the microscope
A number of former passengers of the airline emerged to talk of the planes' "shocking" state of repair, of missing oxygen masks, torn seats, dirty and smelly interiors and broken luggage compartments.
Statistically, experts say, the increased risk of taking a charter flight over a scheduled one is marginal and due not so much to technical as to human problems, such as overworked staff flying constantly changing, unfamiliar routes and landing in smaller, less well-known airports.
Most European charter companies use planes at least as modern as those used by national airlines, are bound by the same maintenance regulations, and subcontract their maintenance work to a major carrier like Air France, KLM or British airways, experts say.
