In December last year, it was found that the maintenance manager of Skymark was working under the influence of alcohol and created maintenance records that were not true without sufficient confirmation. I made a business improvement recommendation to the company as an act.
According to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, in December of last year, a maintenance manager in his 60s at Nagasaki Airport went to work even though alcohol was detected in a pre-commencement test. I went to work under the influence of alcohol without conducting an inspection illegally.
Furthermore, due to the fact that the departure time was approaching, he created a maintenance record that was not true without sufficiently checking items such as tire pressure measurement.
This plane carried 81 passengers and headed from Nagasaki Airport to Kobe Airport, so Skymark dismissed the maintenance manager on the 2nd of this month.
The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism issued a business improvement recommendation to the company on the 7th, saying that it was a serious violation that could cause a serious safety incident, and instructed the company to report recurrence prevention measures by the 24th of this month.
