NAIROBI (Dipatches) -- Boeing Co should ground all of its 737 MAX 8 jets until it is established that they are safe to fly, the chief executive of Ethiopian Airlines told the BBC on Wednesday.
Tewolde Gebremariam spoke in Ethiopia’s capital Addis Ababa following the crash of his airline’s 737 MAX 8 on Sunday, killing all 157 people onboard. Roughly three-quarters of the 737 Max 8 aircraft in the world had been pulled from use by airlines and aviation regulators on Wednesday after the model crashed twice in just five months.
