Ethiopian Airlines CEO says he wants a more rigorous review of the Boeing 737-MAX: 'This should not happen again to any airline.'
Two months after Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 crashed, killing all 157 people on board, the CEO of the airline said his crews and passengers have lost confidence in the Boeing 737-MAX and he wants the company to conduct a more thorough review of the plane.
However, he also said that if the planes were back in service, Ethiopian Airlines would be"the last airline to fly them again.""We have not got a time to discuss on the return to service and we have made it very clear on several occasions we would not be the first one to return their airplane back to air."Gebremariam said it's not enough for Boeing to only review the"MCAS" anti-stall system believed responsible for the fatal crashes in Indonesia and Ethiopia.
"It's very abnormal for a new airplane to have two accidents, fatal accidents in a span of five months," he said."These are brand new airplanes." But investigators have also noted the Ethiopian pilots were flying much faster than is typical, more than 500 miles per hour."They have followed the procedures correctly," he said."This should not happen again to any airline, even a single life should not be put at risk."
