    Notes: At La Ferte Alais, Paris, France

    From November 20, 2018, due to possible safety problems, a general ban on flying this type in Switzerland was ordered until further notice.[64] In March 2019, the Swiss Federal Office of Civil Aviation (FOCA) withdrew the license for commercial passenger flights, and it should still be possible to resume flight operations in a private context subject to technical requirements. In May 2019, the maintenance companies had their approval revoked after they were found to have deficiencies. Until they receive a new license, the machines are effectively banned from flying.
