What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Transall Tankers has challenged the Civil Aviation Safety Authority's (CASA) claims regarding certification delays for its C-160 firefighting aircraft. The company stated it has been engaged with CASA on the project since 2023. CASA defended its process, stating the aircraft had never been certified for civil aerial firefighting anywhere in the world. The regulator emphasized that safety remained the overriding priority and that the aircraft required both regulatory amendments and extensive engineering assessment before approval.
