NEW DELHI, Aug 27 (NNN-PTI) – India’s civil aviation watchdog Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), yesterday, lifted the ban on the Boeing 737 Max aircraft, after grounding them for over two years.
The DGCA had banned the operation of Boeing 737-8 and 737-9 aircraft, over Indian airspace in Mar, 2019, following two fatal accidents involving Lion Air flight 610 and Ethiopian Airlines flight 302.
“This rescission enables operation of Boeing Company model 737-8 and Boeing Company Model 737-9 airplanes, only upon satisfaction of applicable requirements for return to service,” reads the order.– NNN-PTI
