While, other Typhoon user countries such as Austria, Italy, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia have not made public statements about the possibility of suspending flight operations.
Martin-Baker said some of its customers have advised that
some of the launch cartridges from the production batch of ejection seats on
the Eurofighter Typhoon may not be adequately filled. As a result, safe use of
ejection seats may not be possible.
As a follow-up to these findings, all cartridges in this
production batch must now be removed and inspected. It is not yet known when
the temporary ban on the Typhoon fleet will end.
