Forensic experts discovered alcohol in the muscular tissue of the pilot but failed to determine its quantity and therefore couldn’t say whether it was to blame for his “sickly” condition during the approach to land at Perm’s airport, writes the Moscow Times.
After the crash, Aeroflot banned all of its subsidiaries from using the airline’s name and logo in an attempt to protect its reputation. That was not a success; the Arkhangelsk-based airliner is still using the name Aeroflot-Nord, both at its flights information, promotions and web-site. From 1991 till 2004 the airliner was named Arkhangelsk airlines.
Two years ago, a flight attendant onboard Aeroflot Nord’s flight from Murmansk to Tromsø was arrested shortly after landing. She was nearby too drunk to stand and was reported to the police because she spoiled coffee on the passengers. Blood test taken shortly after proved large concentrations of alcohol.
The 38 year old flight attendant was sentenced to 60 days in prison and was sacked from Aeroflot-Nord, writes the newspaper Dagbladet.
