Ethiopian Airlines which lost a 737 MAX shortly after take-off from Addis Ababa International Airport on 10 March has confirmed that the airline will conduct its own independent investigation into the cause of the crash. Airline CEO Tewolde Gebremariam said that a decision on whether or not to continue taking deliveries of the MAX depends on the solution Boeing is submitting. “Then we will also monitor the reaction of the global aviation regulators like EASA, China and Canada aviation regulatory bodies. “We do not regret our decision to order the 737-8 MAX aircraft because it was the right one,” he stated. “The Boeing MAX is a very good aeroplane – its performance, economics and ease of maintenance.
