By Trend

Uzbekistan’s airports are temporarily closed for receiving and sending Boeing 737 MAX aircraft, Trend reports with reference to the Civil Aviation Agency under Uzbek Ministry of Transport.

Uzbek airports from 05:00 pm (GMT +5) on March 13 are closed for receiving and sending Boeing 737-8 MAX and Boeing 737-9 MAX aircraft for a period of one month.

The aviation industry clarified that the ban does not apply to flights of this type of aircraft over Uzbekistan.

After the collapse of Boeing 737−8 MAX liner in Ethiopia on Sunday, many countries suspended the operation of these liners. The United States does not intend to impose such a ban.
