(Photo by Simon MAINA via CFP)Ethiopian Airlines plans to resume flying Boeing 737 MAX planes on its fleet starting February 1, the carrier's chief executive said on Monday, citing confidence over the safety of the fleet. In October 2018, a Lion Air Boeing 737 MAX 8 flight fell from the sky over the Java Sea, killing all 189 people on board. "Since the 737 MAX returned to service, airlines have flown nearly 240,000 flights around the world, and are conducting more than 1,300 flights every day," Boeing said in a statement in November.
