NT airline grounded over safety concerns - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

The Northern Territory's biggest airline has been grounded over safety concerns in a move that will affect hundreds of passengers.
Last night the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) told Hardy Aviation to ground all of its 32 planes.
The airline, which flies to towns and communities across the Northern Territory, says CASA has told it that it has concerns with some pilots not meeting safety requirements and the type of flight simulator being used by the company.
Hardy Aviation was due to conduct charter flights this weekend and the company says hundreds of passengers will be affected by the suspension of its regular services next week.
The company says it's in the process of informing passengers and its 125 staff members about the grounding.
It comes days after one of Hardy's services, Fly Tiwi, had its planes grounded because two senior pilots failed a qualifications test.
