Khartoum: Sudan is grounding its national carrier Sudan Airways from Monday for breaking civil aviation rules, a Sudanese official said.
Mohammad Hassan Al Mujammar, head of safety and flight operations in Sudan's Civil Aviation Authority, said the airline's domestic and international operations have been suspended.
He cited violations such as the general manager doing two jobs and a failure to revise operations manuals as required.
"It is high time to stop this type of non-compliance with international standards," he added.
He said the airline had one month from Monday either to appeal the suspension or to carry out the necessary improvements.
