Air France grounds A380
Lufthansa has also grounded its 10 A380s
Klm grounds all 747’s permanently end of march
Please can we get the terminology right? The B737 MAX is grounded (ie declared non-airworthy) by a regulator whereas these aircraft are simply being temporarily withdrawn from service by the operator for business reasons - if Lufthansa wanted to operate one of its A380s tomorrow, there is no technical reason to prevent it.
