Singapore temporarily bans use of Boeing 737 MAX aircraft in its airspace; says move to assess safety risk

Firstpost  

The Ethiopian Airlines Boeing 737 MAX 8 went down minutes into a flight to Nairobi on Sunday, killing all 157 people on board, months after a Lion Air jet of the same model crashed in Indonesia killing 189. Singapore: Singapore’s aviation regulator on Tuesday banned the use of Boeing 737 MAX aircraft in the country’s airspace following a deadly Ethiopia plane crash at the weekend. The Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore said in a statement it was “temporarily suspending operation of all variants of the Boeing 737 MAX aircraft into and out of Singapore in light of two fatal accidents involving Boeing 737 MAX aircraft in less than five months.” It comes as airlines around the world remove the model from their schedules, while US regulators have ordered Boeing to make urgent improvements to the jet. It said that SilkAir, the regional wing of Singapore Airlines, operates six Boeing 737 MAX aircraft. “During the temporary suspension, CAAS will gather more information and review the safety risk associated with the continued operation of the Boeing 737 MAX aircraft into and out of Singapore,” it said.
