Layang-Layang Aerospace has grounded its entire fleet of BO-105 helicopters and other aircraft after a tragic helicopter crash in Sarawak claimed five lives. The Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia (CAAM) chief executive officer, Datuk Captain Norazman Mahmud, stated that the decision is precautionary and not an indication of technical failure.
CAAM records show that the helicopter's Certificate of Airworthiness was valid until August 4, 2027, and its Certificate of Registration until July 28, 2029. Norazman emphasized that the age of the aircraft is not a determining factor in its airworthiness, provided it is properly maintained and meets all airworthiness requirements.
The Air Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) is independently investigating the crash, and CAAM is cooperating with the investigation. The public and media are urged to refrain from speculating about the cause of the accident until the investigation is complete.
