Who is responsible for making NOK notifications after an Airliner crashes?

• A. The Airline Company
• B. The Sector Commander
• C. The Command Center
• D. The Passenger's union

Answer: (A)

The airline company is responsible because they hold the passenger manifest and have the direct relationship with families. They’re the official contact for delivering accurate, sensitive NOK information and coordinating with authorities as needed. The Sector Commander and Command Center handle on-scene incident response and broad coordination, not the family notification role. The passenger’s union isn’t the official notifier and wouldn’t manage NOK communications. So, the airline company is the best answer.
