Le communiqué d'Airbus :
SUDAN AIRWAYS FLIGHT SD109 ACCIDENT IN KHARTOUM
11 June 2008
Media Information on Sudan Airways Flight SD109
Airbus regrets to confirm that an Airbus A310 operated by Sudan Airways was involved in an accident in Khartoum on 10th June at around 11:00 pm local time. The aircraft was operating a scheduled service, Flight SD109, from Amman, Jordan via Damascus, Syria, to Khartoum, Sudan.
The aircraft involved in the accident, with registration number ST-ATN, was MSN (Manufacturer Serial Number) 548, first delivered from the production line in August 1990, and operated by Sudan Airways since September 2007. The aircraft had logged some 52,000 flight hours and some 21,000 flight cycles. It was powered by Pratt & Whitney PW 4152 engines. At this time no further factual information is available.
In line with ICAO Annex 13 international convention, Airbus will provide technical assistance to the French Bureau d’Enquêtes et d’Analyses (BEA) and to the Authorities of Sudan. A go-team of five Airbus specialists is being dispatched to Sudan to assist the Authorities.
The Airbus A310 is a twin-engine wide-body aircraft seating 220 passengers in a standard two-class configuration. The first Airbus A310 entered service in April 1983. By the end of April 2008, 220 A310 were in service with 28 operators. To date, the entire fleet has accumulated some 11.3 million flight hours in some 4.3 million flights.
The concerns and sympathy of the Airbus employees go to the families, friends and loved ones affected by the accident of Sudan Airways Flight SD109.
Nous ne sommes pas très avancés par le communiqué d'AIRBUS, ce qui est logique : comment envisager des hypothèses lorsque les faits ne sont pas clairement établis.
Selon certains témoins, l'un des réacteurs était en feu avant l'atterrissage.
D'autres indiquent, comme le directeur de l'aéroport, Youssef IBRAHIM, qu'après l'atterrissage, ce réacteur aurait explosé, le feu se propageant ensuite à l'ensemble de l'avion.
Quant au ministre des transports, Mabrouk-Moubarak SALIM, lui prétend que le crash est uniquement dû aux conditions météo.
Difficile de s'y retrouver !
