SilkAir cleared to move 737 Max fleet to Alice Springs
Australia’s civil aviation safety authorities have given Singaporean carrier SilkAir the go-ahead to move its grounded Boeing 737 Max 8 aircraft from Singapore to Alice Springs for storage. The CASA states that it has repealed a temporary prohibition of 737 Max operations in Australian airspace. The SIA subsidiary has 6 737 Max 8s, Cirium’s fleets data reveals. The flight will also be operating without its manoeuvring characteristics augmentation system (MCAS). Asia Pacific Aircraft Storage managing director Tom Vincent declined to comment on the SilkAir move, but would only say that his company is "in discussion" with a number of airline customers with regard to storing the 737 Max aircraft. <br/>
