“Perilous!” writes Menno Swart. The aviation journalist posts a screenshot of Nikkie’s Instagram Story photo, which she has since removed. “Ruben Bontekoe (husband Nikkie Plessen) lets his son Alain drive a CitationJet CJ3. It can go wrong, like in 1994. Rus had his son steer, who switched off the autopilot and Airbus crashed,” writes Swart in his Tweet.
Not the first time
It is not the first time that Plessen has chosen her son as a pilot of her private jet. About two years ago, when Alain was 5 years old, Nikkie posted a similar photo. Menno also shows this on his Twitter account as a reminder. ,,How many ‘flying hours’ does Alain, the son of Ruben Bontekoe and Nikkie Plessen, have? Two years ago, his father also allowed him to drive the CJ3. Dangerous!” said Black. ,,What are we doing with Reuben? Take away your certificate?”
Opinions are divided on the safety of private jet passengers. But Doron Sajet, aviation reporter for NH Nieuws, also thinks it is dangerous: “The child is hopelessly in the way if an emergency occurs or causes one,” he writes.
Blocked
Nikkie immediately blocks Swart on Instagram. ,,Update: Nikkie Plessen is angry! She blocked me on Instagram,” the aviation journalist writes.
