The move comes after two of the planes owned by the Scandinavian Air Service (SAS) crashed on landing in Europe in the past three days (no passengers were injured).
Bombardier and Goodrich, the landing gear manufacturer, has now be asked for 60 of the planes around the world to be grounded until an inspection of the landing gear is carried out. The Flybe routes affected include those serving the Isle of Man and Gatwick. Other affected routes are Belfast, Manchester, Edinburgh, Southampton and the Channel Islands.
