Vnukov’s leadership resigned after the Falcon disaster

General Director Andrei Dyakov, his deputy Sergei Solntsev and a number of other airport managers left their posts after the collapse of the Total President Cristofa de Margeri .

According to the airport’s website, the leaders of the Vnukovo Airport decided to resign “in connection with the tragic event that occurred on the night of October 20 to 21,” their request was satisfied.

Also, the replaced airport director, the head of the airfield operation department and the leading engineer-leader were removed from their duties.

Earlier, in the case of a plane crash, they were detained: the leading engineer of the airfield service Vladimir Ledenev, who was responsible for snowploring work, flight manager Roman Dunaev, dispatcher Svetlana Krivsun and dispatcher Alexander Kruglov.

The Falcon private aircraft crashed in Vnukovo on Tuesday night as a result of a collision with a snow removal car that appeared on a runway. Four people who were aboard, including the president of Total, Christophe de Margeri, were killed.

Among the priority versions of the incident, the investigation considers the error of the dispatchers and the actions of the driver of the snow removal machine , which was detained on Tuesday. During the interrogation, he stated that he was in the runway by chance, since he “lost the landmark” and did not see, and did not hear the plane going to take off.

In Russia, a case has been initiated on violation of the rules of traffic safety and operation of the air transport vessel, in France - on an uncertary murder.
