在加拿大制造商 Bombadier 要求全球停飞类似机型后，Qantas 被要求对其 Dash8-400 飞机进行进一步检查。此前，丹麦和立陶宛的同类飞机出现起落架故障。澳大利亚民航安全局已介入，并发现了一些问题，必须在飞机再次飞行前予以修复。
Hours after they were cleared for service, Qantas has been ordered to undertake further inspections of its fleet of Dash 8400 aircraft.
It comes after the Canadian manufacturer Bombadier ordered a worldwide grounding because of landing gear malfunctions in similar aircraft in Denmark and Lithuania.
The Australian planes are operated by the Qantas subsidiary Sunstate Airlines, based in Brisbane.
Qantas says the fleet has been replaced by Boeing 737 aircraft and charter planes on affected routes, but a number of flights have been cancelled from Sydney, Brisbane and Canberra.
Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) spokesman Peter Gibson says Qantas cleared its fleet of faults last night but further checks are needed before the planes can return to the air.
"The inspections are being done by Qantas maintenance staff and they have found some problems on a number of the aircraft in the undercarriage that obviously has to be rectified before the aircraft can fly again," he said.
"This was done in accordance with a directive from the Civil Aviation Safety Authority."
