Over zealous inspectors or something more sinister? Interesting to read the reason for grounding has not been revealed.

Astraeus have a good reputation.

Good Reputation? With 17% on schedule :eek: performance with Iceland Express, I have flown in their 757 and 737 and I was nor impressed( the PNC were really good and serviceable), damm old 757 :} I think, the SAFA inspectors can write many things in their report but if they grounded the aircraft then there must be a good reason for it.
