Aviation regulators free up Mahindra’s GA8 planes to fly

SINGAPORE: Aviation regulators in Australia and the European Union have lifted orders grounding GippsAero GA8 planes after initial results of an inquiry into a crash in Sweden this month that killed nine people, the regulators said on their websites.

Australia’s Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) said the precautionary suspension was triggered by initial information that the plane had broken up in flight.

However, it had since received information that there was no evidence of a potential unsafe condition associated with the aircraft, it added.
