Indonesia’s transport ministry ordered local airlines to temporarily ground Boeing 737 Max jets operated by them after an Ethiopian Airlines plane of the same model crashed in Africa on Sunday.
The Boeing Max jets should be grounded from Tuesday to ensure the airworthiness of the aircraft, the ministry said in a statement in Jakarta on Monday. Indonesia will begin inspection of the grounded jets from Tuesday and they can be returned to service only after certified by flight inspectors, Polana B. Pramesti, director general of civil aviation, said in the statement.
