Speaking to FBC News, Joyce says they had notified CAAF that they will be grounding its aircraft for precautionary measures following a fatal crash in Sweden last weekend which involved a similar aircraft.

A GippsAero GA8 aircraft crashed in Northern Sweden this month which killed nine people on a skydiving trip.

Joyce says since Australia, the makers of the aircraft have grounded all GA8, they have also decided to follow in that direction.

No time-frame has been given for when the aircraft will fly again.
