Ethiopian Airlines to Resume Boeing 737 Max Flights After Thorough Review
Kyunghee Park, Bloomberg News
(Bloomberg) Ethiopian Airlines Group plans to resume flights on Boeing Co. 737 Max jets in July after analyzing changes to the model that crashed in the country almost two years ago, killing all 157 people on board.
Africaâs largest airline will retain orders for new Max planes and expects to reach an âamicable settlementâ with Boeing this month regarding the accident, Chief Executive Officer Tewolde GebreMariam said at a CAPA conference on Wednesday. It would have been economically unfeasible to switch aircraft types given it already operates an older 737 variant, the CEO said.
