India Grounds Air Service After Fatal Crash

Government Says Cessna 180 Shouldn't Have Been Flying Passengers For Hire

The Indian government says the Cessna 180 that carried actress Soundarya to her death Saturday shouldn't have been carrying passengers in the first place.

"The aircraft which crashed was not endorsed for being hired out to anybody. We have taken action against the owner. The licence has been suspended. This is not a taxi service that is being run. An aircraft cannot just be given away like this to any one," a senior government official told the New Delhi Hindu newspaper.

Soundarya and three others were killed when the 180 crashed shortly after take-off Saturday. They had all been on a campaign swing for the ruling political party.

Angi Aviation runs a flying club and makes parts for ultralight aircraft.
