Tourism impact
In July, Tonga was gifted a Chinese-made Xian MA60 for its domestic Real Tonga airline by China.
Since 2009, MA60 aircraft have been involved in 11 incidents, including three of them in the last two months.
Earlier this year, Myanmar grounded its MA60 planes for safety checks after two crash landings.
Most of the crashes were caused by technical or system failures.
