Ngo-2021, i-DOT Inspector General yafumanisa ukuba i-FAA yayimangalele ukuba iimvavanyo zokufuduka ezifihlakeleyo ezenziwa ngabavelisi beenqwelo-moya ziye zavavanya izihlalo ezincitshisiweyo, ngelixa ngokwenene, uvavanyo olulodwa kuphela lwenziwa kwii-intshi ezingama-28 okanye ngaphantsi. 

I-FAA ngoku ifuna amagqabantshintshi malunga nesiphumo sobukhulu besitulo senqwelomoya kwinkalo nje enye yokhuseleko lwabakhweli: ukukhutshwa ngokungxamisekileyo. Isicelo se-FAA sokuphawula asifuni izimvo ngeminye imiba yokhuseleko efana ne-vein thrombosis enzulu kunye nokuma kweplace. Ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, i-FAA ifumene malunga nama-12,000 amagqabaza.
