That was the same system used by a Lion Air 737 Max which crashed off the coast of Indonesia last year. It is not clear how long the 737 Max will remain grounded. Both the Ethiopian Airlines flight eight days ago and the Lion Air aircraft in October crashed within minutes of take-off. The airline had been expecting delivery of six new planes in March and April, but has been substituting different aircraft on the 737 Max routes.
