Kyrgyz authorities suspend TezJet after MD-83 landing-gear collapse at Bishkek Manas during taxi; investigation underway
Kyrgyz civil aviation authorities have temporarily suspended TezJet operations after one of the carrier’s Boeing MD-83s suffered a landing-gear collapse while taxiing for the runway at Bishkek Manas Airport. The move comes about a month after Kyrgyzstan was removed from the EU’s aviation safety blacklist and follows a probe into the event.
