Blackshape Gabriél takes to the skies again
19 Junio 2024 - 7:58AM
Blackshape announces that the European Union Aviation Safety Agency
(EASA) has lifted the grounding order on the Gabriél aircraft. This
decision marks a pivotal moment for Blackshape, reaffirming the
safety, integrity, and reliability of the Gabriél. The lifting of
the grounding order follows an exhaustive and thorough
investigation into the incident involving a Gabriél aircraft in
Malaysia in February 2024. EASA’s findings confirm that the
accident was not due to any design or manufacturing defect in the
Gabriél aircraft. Blackshape worked closely with EASA, providing
all necessary support and data throughout the investigation to
ensure a comprehensive understanding of the events. The lifting of
the grounding order by EASA underscores the inherent safety and
robustness of the Gabriél aircraft when operated within the
prescribed guidelines. The aircraft in question was grounded by
Blackshape prior to the incident for maintenance requirements. The
grounding order had been communicated to the customer and to the
European Aviation Safety Agency, EASA.
Niccolò Chierroni, CEO of Blackshape, said:
“Blackshape is always committed to advancing aviation safety and
delivering the highest quality aircraft to our customers. We are
certain that the Gabriél fleet will continue to set benchmarks for
performance and reliability in the aviation industry.”
