Executive Air accused of flight log irregularities amid tax evasion allegations
8 hrs ago | Views
Executive Air, a prominent aviation company, is facing serious allegations of failing to properly log its flights, raising suspicions of tax evasion and regulatory violations.
According to sources, the company has been accused of omitting key details in its flight logs, including flight paths, cargo manifests, passenger information, and crew details.
These omissions could constitute a breach of aviation standards established by the Civil Aviation Authority of Zimbabwe (CAAZ).
A close source, speaking on condition of anonymity, alleged that Executive Air is exploiting relaxed oversight by the CAAZ to bypass proper flight logging procedures.
"They are taking advantage of the lax enforcement to avoid paying taxes. This is not just about compliance; it's about a deliberate effort to cheat the system," the source claimed.
Ed Mordat, a key figure connected to the controversy, recently denied allegations of irregular practices within Executive Air.
Despite this, the company has not issued an official statement to address the growing concerns. Efforts to contact its representatives for comment have been unsuccessful.
The alleged lapses have attracted the attention of aviation authorities, who are reportedly initiating investigations to uncover the full scope of the violations. If proven, these irregularities could lead to severe penalties, including fines, suspension of the company's license, and further audits into its operations.
Aviation consultant who did not wants us to publish his name reveal the importance of strict compliance in the industry.
"Flight logs are fundamental for ensuring accountability and safety. These allegations, if true, compromise the integrity of not just Executive Air but also the broader aviation ecosystem," He said.
This incident highlights a potential gap in oversight by CAAZ, prompting calls for stricter enforcement of aviation regulations. The aviation community and the public now await further updates as investigations progress.
