Tunisair suspends all operations after physical clash between pilots and technicians

Share

This morning Tunisair announced to suspend all operations and flights until further notice.

“In order to preserve the safety of the fleet”, Tunisair had to take this drastic measure. The main reason for the suspension is due to “escalating social tensions” between pilots and technicians.

According to radio Mosaïque FM a physical clash between cockpit and technicians broke out this morning on a flight scheduled to leave for Paris CDG (TU716).

Working for 25 years in the aviation industry, I changed my career and became a firefighter/EMT in 2021. I like to spend my free time with my two sons, girlfriend, family and friends. I love to travel, wine and dine and support my favourite football squad KV Mechelen. Once an Ironman 70.3 finisher and dreaming of completing a full distance.
