Keystone Air Service says plane was fueled by independant company

Yesterday the Transportation Safety Board confirmed the plane that crashed last month, was filled with the wrong type of fuel.

 

Keystone Air Service sent a press release saying their own investigation of the September 15th accident is consistent with TSB’s findings.

 

They note there is no suggestion that the aircraft was not airworthy at the time of the crash, or that the crash was the result of any in-flight operational issues.

 

They say the Thompson Keystone relies on Maratech Aviation Fuels, an independent company, to fuel its aircraft, and that it appears the cause of the crash is the result of their error in fueling the aircraft.

 

We reached out to Maratech Aviation Fuels Thompson who have yet to respond.
