Kaptenen \u00e4r den pilot som har det yttersta ansvaret f\u00f6r flygningen, bes\u00e4ttningen och passagerarna. Geoff Wall, 59, var kapten f\u00f6r omkring 900 Air Canada-flygningar mellan 2009 och 2025 innan han gick i pension f\u00f6rra \u00e5ret.<\/p>\n
Wall saknade dock en flygpilotlicens fr\u00e5n den federala tillsynsmyndigheten Transport Canada vilket kr\u00e4vs f\u00f6r att flyga som kapten, enligt kanadensiska myndigheter. Wall har gripits och han anklagas f\u00f6r bedr\u00e4geri och flera andra brott.<\/p>\n
Utredningen visade att Walls id-handlingar under tiden som Air Canada-pilot \u201dvar f\u00f6rfalskade\u201d, enligt Chad Michell vid polisen. Wall var \u201dinte kvalificerad att ansvara f\u00f6r s\u00e4kerheten f\u00f6r hundratals intet ont anande Air Canada-passagerare\u201d, enligt myndigheterna.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Det \u00e4r som en l\u00e4kare med licens att ut\u00f6va allm\u00e4nmedicin utf\u00f6rde hj\u00e4rnkirurgi p\u00e5 sin mottagning, s\u00e4ger Nick Milinovich vid polisen.<\/p>\n
\u201dTar p\u00e5 st\u00f6rsta allvar\u201d<\/p>\n
Air Canada h\u00e4vdade i ett uttalande att passagerarnas s\u00e4kerhet \u201dinte \u00e4ventyrades\u201d av Walls handlingar eftersom han \u201dvisat en h\u00f6g kompetensniv\u00e5 f\u00f6r att s\u00e4kert framf\u00f6ra stora flygplan\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201dMen Air Canada tar denna fr\u00e5ga p\u00e5 st\u00f6rsta allvar\u201d, st\u00e5r det i uttalandet fr\u00e5n flygbolaget.<\/p>\n
John Gradek, universitetslektor i flygledning vid McGill University, menade att b\u00e5de Transport Canada och Air Canada b\u00f6r st\u00e4llas till svars f\u00f6r bristande rutinkontroller vilket medf\u00f6rde att Wall kunde flyga trots att han inte hade r\u00e4tt licens.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Han var en utm\u00e4rkt pilot. Det betyder inte att han hade r\u00e4tt att flyga, s\u00e4ger Gradek.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Publicerad 10 jun 2026 kl 02.48 Han genomf\u00f6rde 900 flygningar som kapten \u2013 utan giltig licens.
