157 passengers died in the Ethiopian Airlines Crash on a brand new Boeing 787 MAX earlier this month. According to the first BEA result, the reason for the deadly crash is almost identical with another Boeing MAX 8 crash in Indonesia operated by Lion Air. This is sad news but also confirmation Ethiopian Airlines, a Star Alliance Member carrier may not be blamed. However, nothing is third world when it comes to the operation of Ethiopian Airlines. One-third of Boeing’s profit is based on pending sales and production of the Boeing Max.
