Taiwan's TransAsia Airways shut down.
Taiwan's TransAsia Airways to close down, flights to be suspended
TAIPEI: Taiwan's TransAsia Airways, a struggling airline with a poor safety record, said on Tuesday (Nov 22) its board had approved a move to wind down the company and that all flights would be suspended.
The move by Taiwan's third-largest carrier has come as a shock to the island's airline and tourism industries as well as the government.
Early this year, Taiwan's aviation safety agency urged TransAsia to review its safety protocols, pilot training programme and hiring practices so as to cut "imminent risks".
Those recommendations were among 10 made by the Aviation Safety Council following its investigation into a June 2014 crash of TransAsia's flight GE222 which killed 48 of the 58 passengers and crew.
Less than a year later, another flight crashed into a river shortly after taking off from Taipei's Songshan airport.

Good result. Bit late for those involved in the crashes though.

Re: Taiwan's TransAsia Airways shut down.
yep, amazing but tragic video of that crash, if i didnt remember wrongly the findings of that investigation was pilot's error in dealing with an engine cut and causing a stall
