737 Max jets banned from flying to Australia

Australia’s Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) has temporarily banned Boeing 737 Max aircraft from operating to and from Australia. CASA CE and director of aviation safety Shane Carmody says the suspension is in the best interest of safety following the 29 October 2018 crash of Lion Air flight JT610, and the 10 March accident involving Ethiopian Airlines flight ET302 – both of which were operated by 737 Max 8s. “This is a temporary suspension while we wait for more information to review the safety risks of continued operations of the Boeing 737 MAX to and from Australia,” says Carmody.<br/>
