Rwanda Civil Aviation Authority has issued a safety and operational directive on Boeing 737-8 Max and Boeing 737-9 Max.
In a statement yesterday, the institution prohibited pilots and aircraft operators of the said aircraft to conduct any flights in the airspace of Rwanda “with immediate effect.”
This follows a weekend tragedy in which an Ethiopian Airlines’ Boeing 737-Max8 crashed killing 157 passengers on board.
Boeing 737 MAX 8 — a new model recently unveiled to great fanfare by the US aviation giant, has been grounded by several countries including China and United States of America.
