Following a Sunday Ethiopian Airline plane crash, Singapore’s aviation regulator has temporarily suspended the operation of all variants of the Boeing 737 Max aircraft, which is the same model of the Ethiopian plane that crashed.
The aircraft has so far been known for two fatal accidents within five months – the Sunday crash that killed all 157 people on board.
As well as an October, a Lion Air plane crash in Indonesia, which killed 189.
Australia has also suspended the use of the aircraft, but this affects only one airline, Fiji Airways.
Other carriers operating in Australia, China, Indonesia, Morocco, South Africa, Mexico and Ethiopia have already suspended operations, but only of the specific type that crashed near Addis Ababa.
