However, the airline had been reconsidering its order for 49 of the narrowbody jets prior to the Ethiopian crash, including potentially swapping some for widebody Boeing models. The Lion Air plane did not have the warning light installed because it was not compulsory. The airline said last week it would seek compensation from Boeing for the cost of grounding its 737 MAX planes, which makes up 11 percent of its fleet. Since the Ethiopian crash, Boeing shares have fallen 12 percent and $28 billion has been wiped off its market value. Several lawsuits have already been filed on behalf of victims of the Lion Air crash referring to the Ethiopian accident.
