Minister Garneau statement regarding restricting airspace to Boeing 737 MAX 8
and 9 aircraft
From: Transport Canada
Statement
March 13, 2019 Ottawa, Ontario Transport Canada
The Honourable Marc Garneau, Minister of Transport, issued the following
statement today:
“My thoughts continue to go out to all those affected by the tragic aircraft
accident involving an Ethiopian Airlines Boeing 737 MAX 8 in Addis Ababa,
Ethiopia.
“Following advice from Transport Canada Civil Aviation experts, as a
precautionary measure, I am issuing a safety notice to address this issue.
This safety notice restricts commercial passenger flights from any air
operator, both domestic and foreign, of the Boeing 737 MAX 8 and 9 aircraft -
from arriving, departing, or overflying Canadian airspace.
“This safety notice is effective immediately, and will remain in place until
further notice.
“The advice the experts have provided is based on the information they have
been receiving; the requirements for new procedures and training for Boeing
737 MAX 8 and 9 flight crews they have already put in place; and the latest
information available from the incidents.
“It is too soon to speculate about the cause of the accident in Addis Ababa,
and to make direct links to the Lion Air accident in Indonesia in October
2018; however, my department has been closely monitoring the investigations
by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) and the Ethiopian Civil Aviation Authority.
“Following the Lion Air accident, Transport Canada adopted the Federal
Aviation Administration’s (FAA) Airworthiness Directive. It also required
that Canadian airlines who operate the Boeing 737 MAX 8 and 9 aircraft, put
new procedures in place and implement additional crew training.
“We were one of the first countries to do so and not all countries have
implemented this change. And these Canadian requirements for new procedures
and training to protect against the risk identified went above and beyond the
measures directed by the United States Federal Aviation Administration and
Boeing – and above and beyond what other nations have done.
“Canada has an enviable aviation safety record because of the
professionalism and safety-first focus of Canada’s aviation industry –
those who design and manufacture aircraft, those who maintain them, our
airports, our air traffic controllers and of course those who operate and fly
the aircraft. It also due to the world-class knowledge, expertise and
relentless focus on safety by Transport Canada officials who are responsible
for developing regulations and ensuring compliance with those regulations.
“My departmental officials continue to monitor the situation and I will not
hesitate to take swift action, should we discover any additional safety
issues.”
