China has imposed restrictions on private aviation operators, grounding light fixed-wing aircraft following last week’s small plane crash into one of Beijing’s tallest buildings, the Financial Times reported on Monday.
The pilot was killed and 13 other people were injured when the aircraft crashed into CITIC Tower, also known as China Zun, on Friday.
According to the report, citing several aviation operators, small propeller-driven aircraft have been grounded following the incident.
The report added that skydiving and paragliding services have also been suspended under a nationwide airspace control order covering recreational flights.
No timeline has been announced for lifting the restrictions.
