Ethiopian Airlines crash: Boeing faces safety questions over 737 Max 8 jets Read more“Boeing ... is working with the authorities to evaluate new information as it becomes available,” said a spokesperson for Boeing, adding all inquiries about the ongoing accident investigation must be directed to the investigating authorities. The 737 MAX planes were grounded worldwide following the Ethiopian Airlines disaster on 10 March, which came five months after a Lion Air crash in Indonesia that killed 189 people.

Ethiopian officials and some analysts have said the Ethiopian Airlines jet behaved in a similar pattern as the 737 MAX involved in October’s Lion Air disaster.
