Boeing 737 MAX banned in Europe
NEWS FLASH
Following the tragic accident of Ethiopian Airlines flight ET302 involving a Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft, the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has suspended all flight operations of all Boeing model 737-8 MAX and 737-9 MAX jets in Europe. Carriers which frequently used the aircraft type on their flights to the former Yugoslavia included Flydubai, Turkish Airlines and Norwegian Air Shuttle, however, their respective countries have also suspended all commercial flights performed by the jet, as a precautionary measure. This morning, Flydubai's services to both Belgrade and Zagreb were operated by the Boeing 737-800 aircraft instead of the MAX, without any major disruption to its schedule. "EASA is continuously analysing the data as it becomes available. The accident investigation is currently ongoing, and it is too early to draw any conclusions as to the cause of the accident", the authority said, commenting on the Ethiopian crash. At this point, the B737 MAX fleet continues to remain active across North America. The US Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) has said it will not suspend the Boeing 737 MAX. It noted that a review showed "no systemic performance issues" and that there is no basis for grounding the aircraft.
