China in crackdown over aviation abuses
Two executives at state-owned China Southern Airlines have been detained as part of a wide-ranging probe into corruption in the aviation industry.
AFP reported that investigators took away the two managers, who work in the department charged with flight scheduling, in a deepening scandal that has already claimed several company employees and a number of government officials.
According to the China Business News the employees are suspected of accepting bribes from airlines in exchange for approving new flight routes and landing and departure slots.
The crackdown has snared other high-ranking officials including the former chairman of Capital Airport Holding Company and the head of the Civil Aviation Administration’s (CAAC) north China bureau, the report said.
Liu Yajun, another senior official at CAAC, committed suicide last week by laying down on railway tracks.
