Civil aviation regulator DGCA late on Tuesday night decided to ground all Boeing 737 Max immediately in the country, after several nations across the world had taken such a step for passenger safety following twin crashes in the past few months.
“DGCA has taken the decision to ground the Boeing 737 Max planes immediately. These planes will be grounded till appropriate modifications and safety measures are undertaken to ensure their safe operation,” ministry of civil aviation in a tweet said.
It said “passenger safety remains our top priority. We continue to consult closely with regulators around the world, airlines and aircraft manufacturers to ensure passenger safety”.
