ISLAMABAD, July 27: With first anniversary of the tragic Airblue crash, which killed over 150 people on board, falling on Thursday, the government has failed to make the reports of the two investigation teams public.

One of the teams was headed by Air Commodore Khawaja Abdul Majeed, president of the Civil Aviation Authority’s Safety Investigation Board, which focused on human factors, possibility of technical fault and weather conditions.

The second team, headed by Federal Investigation Agency director-general, was assigned the task of investigating the possibility of `sabotage`.The CAA official said that they were not aware whether the report had been sent to the federal government.

“At present, the report lies with the ministry of Defence and it has not made it public,” a senior CAA official told Dawn on condition of anonymity.

On the other hand legal heirs of the tragic incident were still waiting for compensation by the Airblue.

“Some 35 legal heirs have filed a joint law suit in Sindh High Court seeking compensation as per international aviation laws and publication of inquiry report,” said Nisar A Mujhaid, representing the legal heirs against the Airblue and the CAA.

Regarding the compensation he said both the federal government and the Airblue had failed to pay the compensation to the families of the victims.

Mr Mujhaid maintained that CAA’s legal representative always came up with lame excuses regarding the inquiry report “which is not a national secret.”

“I am not aware what facts they are hiding from the legal heirs of the crash victims, and the people of Pakistan,” asked Mr Mujhaid.

The advocate of the Sindh High Court said that he had prayed in his petition that the national operations of the airliner should be suspended till the time they pay the compensation to the legal heirs of the victims.

Another petition was also filed by former legislator Marvi Memon on behalf of families in the Peshawar High Court which is still being heard by the court.

Umar Farooq, father of late Abu Bakar Izhar who was also on board the aeroplane, told Dawn from Karachi: “During the last one year no body from the government has contacted us and they [federal government] have even not shared with us any report.”

He said that they had not been paid any compensation by the government or the airliner company.

Zahid Khattak, brother of late Aamir Khattak, said: “We have jointly sent an application to the chief justice with the hope that he would take suo motu notice of the crash.

No official of the airliner company was available for immediate comments on first anniversary of the air crash.
