| The Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) will not ban the use of the Boeing 737 MAX model to and from the country according to CAAP Director General Capt. Jim C. Sydiongo. Sydiongco said the ban is not necessary as no Philippine carrier used this new aircraft type, nor are used by airlines flying into the country. There are also no B737 Max planes overflying Philippine Airspace. “CAAP said all the aircraft flown by foreign carriers into the country and over its airspace are the old B737 variants and not the new max type plane. US, PNG, Chinese and Singaporean registered planes fly the Boeing 737s into the country but none fly the new max model. Boeing has grounded the entire B737 Max planes after the US Federal Aviation Administration grounded the plane yesterday following similar bans in Canada, EU, Australia, Indonesia, China, and Singapore. |
