Boeing announced on Monday that it would brief more than 200 global airline pilots, technical leaders and regulators on software and training updates for its 737 MAX 8 passenger plane later this week, in a bid to return the jet to commercial service. The move comes after airlines around the world grounded their Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft after one of the planes, flown by Ethiopian Airlines, crashed on 10 March, killing all 157 people on board. The tragedy followed a suspiciously similar Boeing 737 MAX 8 crash in Indonesia, which happened in late October, killing 189. “Despite the tragedy, Boeing and Ethiopian Airlines will continue to be linked well into the future. The air carrier added that it was "waiting patiently" for the results of the investigation on 737 MAX design and certification, which was launched globally after the March tragedy.
