Yemenia Airways has been working for 50 yrs and has a good reputation. The Yemenia Pilots operate out of very difficult airports in tough conditions on a daily basis, Sanaa their home base can be a very tough place to operate a wide body jet. Yemenia pilots are professional, trained, experienced, skilled, and dedicated towards thier job. Yemenia Cabin Attendants, are also trained, experienced and dedicated towards their job.

Yemenia airways has also professional ground engineers and ground staff, otherwise they would'nt be flying as an airline for 50 years.  

The reason y yemenia has 3 flights/week to moroni is to accomodate the no. of passengers who are at the end disrespectful. Moroni is a notoriously difficult airfield to fly into, especially at night. The airport is at sea-level on the West side of a skinny island, with a 7700' mountain just to the southeast of it and a 3600' one to the northeast.. There is no published approach to Rwy 20, just an VOR/DME/ILS for 02. At night there are very few ground lights, a true 'black-hole' with part of it being the volcano mentioned.

Moroni. The approach into runway 20 is anything but a straight in approach. There is no such thing as a 10 mile or even 5 mile straight in approach because of the hills to your left. You are doing a visual approach from right base and constantly turning to align yourself with the runway and only the last mile or so are you actually completely aligned with the runway. Because of this, my company has designated Moroni as a 'difficult airport' and we are only allowed to fly there.
Moroni at night is a very dangerous thing to do. The risks involved are too high and the services available are very minimal. The non-precision app at night is a ridiculously difficult approach in good weather.

The Yemenia pilots operate out of very difficult airports in tough conditions on a daily basis, Sanaa their home base can be a very tough place to operate a wide body jet. I would not assume that their pilots skills were lacking.  Any pilot flying that approach in bad weather at night would have a much higher risk of dying than is acceptable. The airline I flew there with pulled out of Moroni 5 or 6 years ago because of those dangers, thankfully! What ever the cause of this crash, hopefully night flights into that place will be stopped by all airlines. Good, those folks on the Comoros can stay on their miserable islands and lump it.

Yemenia seems to have a reasonable safety record up to now...so all this knee-jerk nonsense about this accident is just that....nonsense.  Within few hours from the crash French authorities are brave enough to judge about technical defaults of the Yemenite airplane and the EU announces publishing of a worldwide black list of airlines. I am wondering why there were no similar statements immediately following the crash of Air France airplane a month ago, where all signs indicated technical default of the airplane as a reason of the crash. If the technical check conducted in 2007 at the airport of Paris resulted in a number of serious defects, why the airline was still allowed to enter EU airports? Either the airline was not checking properly its fleet and it should be kept away from the EU, or the defects were not serious at all and the French officials should keep their mouth shut. if these comorons are protesting now and making a big show then------ Why did comorons not protest like what they are doing now. If yemenia was bad airline and not to forget only airline going to moroni, then they are stupids to still go on this airline they should have made the same show what they are doing now to stop the airline, and requested air france another crash airline to take them to moroni.
Why to talk after the crash????  The teenage girl who is the only known survivor of the Comoros plane crash that killed up to 152 people has described how she floated in the Indian Ocean clutching a piece of debris for 12 hours before her rescue. how come?????????????
Where is the photo of debri she found in darkness, when she heard people talking around her, and plus she could not swim at all?  or was it the voodoo which saved her as what President Sarkozy has blamed fundamentalist Mormon voodoo for the Yemenia Airways flight IY626 from Sanaa disaster. The troubled Airbus 310 crashed near a Comoros Islands airport named after the Book of Mormon?s angel Moroni on Monday.
This survivor was miracle by voodoo??? or what. no debri, no bodies, no human remains, not even a piece of aircraft found, no suitcase, ha ha??? but she found debri so fast and why didnt she hear what people were talking? because people will be screeming not talking after a big crash?
President Sarkozy has blamed fundamentalist Mormon voodoo for the Yemenia Airways flight IY626 from Sanaa disaster. The troubled Airbus 310 crashed near a Comoros Islands airport named after the Book of Mormon's angel Moroni on Monday. The angel is reputed to have told Latter Day Saints prophet Joseph Smith that he'd buried some golden plates in an Indian Ocean location, believed to be the island of Njazidja where the airport is sited. Sarkozy's latest outburst follows a recent televised rant about new British House of Commons Speaker John Burkha, a top UK proponent of universal Sharia Law. Successive popes have lampooned Smith's bright light angel Moroni as a cunning emanation by Old Testament desperado Lucifer, popularly referred to as the Mothman in traditional American folklore.

The strange thing is what's NOT printed or asked, or even talked about. Any journalist worth his salt would have asked the "5-yr-old boy, no wait, a 14-yr-old-girl, I mean a 12-yr-old-girl--okay 14-yr-old girl" just what the heck happened BEFORE the "chilly water with bodies floating around" part of the story. By the way no bodies have been found besides the survivor- how the heck did THAT happen- they picked HER up, didn't they?  SUSPICIOUS????   Yemenia’s ill-fated plane’s two black boxes’ location has been detected and they will be recovered when the equipment arrives in the next few hours, said Hamid Faraj, the General Aviation Authority Manager today. Meanwhile, Yemenia Airways said that it will organize a rally at the French Embassy in Sana’a on Tuesday, against what they describe as the prevention by French troops of Yemeni divers from entering a large area where the Airbus 310 wreckage is expected to be. Victims’ relatives and friends will also organize a demonstration at the French embassy, demanding cooperation with Yemeni and Comorian authorities in the search for the two black boxes and the bodies and any survivors said Yemenia Public Relation's Manager, Khalid al-Kaniai'. Sources at Yemenia from the beginning did not rule out the prospect that the plane was shot down over an external reaction because no appeal for help was heard from the captain after he contacted Moroni airport for landing amid severe weather and sea conditions. In the same context, the President of the Republic of Comoros Ahmad Abdullah Sambi, asked President Ali Abdullah Saleh to continue Yemenia Airways' flights to the Comorian capital, as it is the sole air carrier to Comoros. The request comes in a letter from President Sambi to President Ali Abdullah Saleh handed over by Comorian Minister of Foreign Relations Ahmad Saeed Jafar. The letter addressed the latest developments of the Yemeni plane crash saga off Comoros' coastlines last Tuesday.

The Comorian president expressed his personal condolences to President Saleh and the Yemeni people concerning the victims of the crash. He affirmed his country's keenness on boosting the brotherly relations between the two countries, confirming that the airplane accident will not affect the two countries' ties and joint cooperation.  A Comorian official told the London based al-Sharq al-Awsat newspaper that they are not ruling out the possibility that the Yemenia Airbus 310 was shot down with a missile, ensuring that the French Ambassador in Moroni told some top Comorian government officials that there were French Navy vessels performing maneuvers in the area of the accident a day before the plane crash. He also accused French navy authorities of intentionally driving the rescue teams away from the accident area. President Sambi drew the audience’s attention to the issue that France is not showing enough cooperation for the rescue of survivors, recovering bodies, and cleaning up the wreckage from the plane at a meeting held by the Comorian government’s rescue teams yesterday at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

He said that there has been no progress achieved in discovering or recovering survivors and their property, ensuring that the French know exactly where the wreckage is located, but are directing the divers to other areas. He added that rescue teams were formed from divers of the four countries of France, Yemen, USA and Comoros; however, their access to the crash site has been limited. A French submarine spotted the wreckage but the government has denied access to it through ambiguous ways.  Sambi added that the quick, French withdrawal of the surviving French girl Bahia al-Bakri aroused suspicions because she is the only eyewitness of the accident. "We have unofficial information from French war vessels in the area which were presumably conducting undeclared military maneuvers near the plane,” said the Comorian official, adding that “Perhaps the plane was at the wrong hour and place at that moment.” He said that this story has been circulating within Government agencies, adding that the girl told one of her rescuers of her hearing a large noise and a large explosion coming from outside the plane. The French feared this, and in response, quickly sent a Minister to ensure that the only survivor would not say things detrimental to the French military and government. He went on to say that it is in the favor of France that the bodies stay underwater for a long time, so as to not disclose what happened.
MAY GOD BLESS THE SOULS OF ALL THE VICTIMS OF YEMENIA AIRBUS FLIGHT IY626.
