SINGAPORE - Singapore and Australia suspended operations of all Boeing 737 MAX aircraft in and out of their airports on Tuesday, and Indonesia and China grounded their fleets of the U.S. planemaker’ s latest model after it suffered a second fatal crash in less than five months.
But a statement issued by Singapore’s Civil Aviation Authority showed question-marks hanging over the aircraft after Sunday’s disaster could not be dispelled so fast. The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration issued a “continued airworthiness notification” for the 737 MAX late on Monday to assure operators, and detailed a series of design changes mandated by Boeing.
Gol in Brazil temporarily suspended MAX 8 flights, as did Argentina’s state airline Aerolineas Argentinas and Mexico’s Aeromexico. A spokesman for China’s foreign ministry said on Tuesday that it was hard to predict a detailed timetable for when the suspension would be lifted, emphasizing that passenger safety was paramount.
India’s regulator ordered additional maintenance checks on 737 MAX 8 aircraft operating in the country and said a review found “no significant concern”.
