South African Civil Aviation Authority (SACAA) had grounded Comair\u2019s planes indefinitely on Sunday for unresolved safety issues, suspending its air operator certificate and stranding hundreds of passengers, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/safrica-aviation-comair\/s-africas-comair-back-in-the-skies-after-suspension-lifted-idUSL5N2VK0MO\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer

regulator pointed to Comair\u2019s safety problems in the past month, ranging from engine failures and malfunctions to landing gear malfunctions, among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The regulator said its investigation turned up three findings that \u201cpose an immediate risk\u201d to be tackled immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Comair said no safety and security findings were made on flight operations or maintenance, adding that the regulator\u2019s findings related to quality assurance, the structure and personnel of the safety department and repair documentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2
