Ethiopian draft report blames Boeing for 737 MAX plane crash – News of Bahrain- DT News

Ethiopian draft report blames Boeing for 737 MAX plane crash. A draft interim report from Ethiopian crash investigators circulated to U.S. government agencies concludes the March 2019 crash of a Boeing Co (BA.N) 737 MAX was caused by the plane's design, two people briefed on the matter said Friday.. NTSB spokesman Eric Weiss confirmed the agency had received the draft interim report, but declined to comment on whether the agency would suggest any changes.. Boeing on Friday declined to comment to Reuters about the report.. The Ethiopian interim report contrasts with a final report into the Lion Air crash released last October by Indonesia which faulted Boeing's design of cockpit software on the 737 MAX but also cited errors by the airline's workers and crew.. The Boeing 737 MAX has been grounded worldwide for nearly a year after the two fatal crashes.. Under rules overseen by the United Nations' Montreal-based aviation agency, ICAO, Ethiopia should publish a final report by the first anniversary of the crash on March 10 but now looks set to release an interim report with elements that would normally be included in the final report.. Ethiopian Airlines did not respond to a request for comment.. House
