Preliminary report on Ethiopian Airlines crash likely to be released this week GlobeBusiness
Federal policemen stand near engine parts at the scene of an Ethiopian Airlines crash, near the town of Bishoftu, Ethiopia, on March 11, 2019.A preliminary report on an Ethiopian Airlines crash will very likely be released this week, the country’s transport ministry said on Tuesday, as Boeing prepares to brief more airlines on software and training updates on the 737 Max.
The Max software is the focus of investigations into the two crashes – in Ethiopia this month and in Indonesia last year – in which 346 lives were lost. Any fixes to the Max software must still get approval from governments around the world. The 737 Max is Boeing’s best-selling plane, with orders worth more than $500-billion at list prices. Within less than a week after the Ethiopian crash, the jets were grounded globally.
The statement came a day after Ethiopian Airlines Chief Executive Officer Tewolde Gebremariam said he expected the preliminary report to be released this week or next week. Tewolde told Reuters the leading African airline may or may not attend Boeing’s briefing in the United States this week.
