Mr. Duang, while addressing the media he said that, his company want to look into the cause of the plane crash from the black-box before compensating the victims of the plane crash but the court was impatient with his company. 


Mr. Duang also said that the USD 170,000 to be awarded to each victim was outrageous and the presiding judge's ruling was unfair to his company. 


“South Sudan Supreme Airlines and its administration did not say we are not going to compensate the victims, we said that the court should be patient in implementing the orders of the court,” Duang said.

Mr. Duang clarified that, his plane took some cargo to Pieri and there was supposed to be only two crew members on board and that was the sole reason for him requesting the court to allow his company to obtain information from the black box as to know the exact cause of accident. 


“We said we want to know the cause of the accident. The plane took cargo to Pieri and on its way back, there were supposed to be two crew members onboard. We told the court that we first wanted to know the cause of the plane crash from the information obtained from the black box. Let the black box tell what caused the accident.” Mr. Duang said. 


Mr. Duang also said that, he wanted to know how the passengers boarded his plane? and did they attack the captain? that was the main reason he asked for the black box but the presiding judge declined his request.

“How did the passengers enter the plane? Did they attack the captain? As South Supreme Airlines, we want the black box to first tell us the cause of the accident and we are surprised that the judge did not give us the chance and ruled out of the laws of the country,” Duang stated. 


Mr. Duang further said that, his company will abide by the ruling of the judge and his company respects the law because law is for everyone. 


“We said that the ruling of the court has no problem and we respect the law and the law is for everyone. We will respect the law and do as is needed.” Mr. Duang stated. 


Finally, Mr. Duang the proprietor of South Supreme Airlines said that, the ruling of the judge was unfair and they will continue to appeal untill a figure less than USD 170,000 can be reached.
