Johannesburg - South African airline Nationwide suspended all flights Friday on orders from the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), an airline spokeswoman told a local radio station. The CAA provided no "solid reason" for the grounding, according to Nationwide official Charmaine Thome.

In November, a Nationwide Boeing 737-200 dropped one of its two engines during take-off from Cape Town airport. The plane, with 106 passengers aboard, managed to land safely half an hour later.

The airline was unsure how many flights or passengers would be affected

Nationwwide does not transport firearms so I will not miss them. They don't seem to offer much to hunters. Adrian
