The CEO of Ethiopian Airlines on Monday stated that the carrier believes in Boeing despite the crash of its 737 MAX 8 plane that saw all 157 people on board killed. Tewolde GebreMariam in a statement said, “Let me be clear: Ethiopian Airlines believes in Boeing. “We will work with investigators in Ethiopia, in the US and elsewhere to figure out what went wrong,” he added. Tewolde called for the 737 MAX 8’s grounding after the crash, but in the statement struck a conciliatory tone towards Boeing. “Despite the tragedy, Boeing and Ethiopian Airlines will continue to be linked well into the future,” he said.
