ADDIS ABABA — The crash of an Ethiopian Airlines Boeing 737-8 Max airplane in 2019 that killed 157 people was caused by a faulty safety feature, Ethiopian authorities have said in the final report.
On March 10, 2019, the aircraft flying from Addis Ababa to Nairobi crashed a few minutes after takeoff, eventually killing all passengers and crew on board.
It came just months after the October 2018 crash of a 737 MAX operated by Lion Air in Indonesia, which killed 189 people when it crashed moments after leaving Jakarta airport.
