MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Ethiopian Airlines' area manager in Russia, Yitbarek Nema, told Sputnik on Friday that he believed the deadly March crash involving a Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft would not affect the airline's relations with the aerospace company, and that Ethiopian Airlines would continue to fly other Boeing models. They are reliable, they are safe — so this [737 MAX 8] is a single case. When asked about the possibility of the airline launching legal action against Boeing, Nema stressed that this matter fell under the attorney general’s jurisdiction.
