    Nippon Cargo Airlines (NCA) has grounded its entire eleven-unit 747F fleet, effective 16 June, shortly after inspectors from Japan’s Civil Aviation Bureau (JCAB) discovered major inconsistencies in the company’s maintenance records. Increased scrutiny of the Japan-based, all-cargo carrier began last month after JCAB found NCA had omitted multiple incidents involving its aircraft, and subsequently launched an audit of the airline.

    Sadly, I'm already on my days off. I can't really discuss what's going on. I will say that NCA has some of the best maintenance I've ever seen. I believe flights will resume soon. That said, I'm keeping my options open to other offers.

    It was surprising to say the least, especially so since it came from JCAB. Hardly ever hear of a national authority (other than FAA) coming down on a carrier such as NCA.
