SINGAPORE (Mar 12): The Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) is temporarily suspending Boeing 737 MAX aircraft operations out of Singapore. The move comes after a B-737 Max 8 crashed in Ethiopia on Sunday, killing all 157 people on board – the second fatal accident involving the best-selling Boeing aircraft in less than five months.
The suspension will take effect from 2pm on Mar 12.
