737 MAX must be ‘tried, tested and trusted’It’s been almost a year and a half since an Ethiopian Boeing 737 MAX crashed on route to Kenya. Esayas explained that Ethiopian plans to take a cautious outlook when it comes to the 737 MAX. He said,“What I can tell you about MAX is that Ethiopian Airlines wants to be the last airline to start flying it, after everybody has. To date, no African regulator has requested scrutiny of the 737 MAX, so it’s likely the authorities will simply follow the FAA. However, it had pinned its hopes on the 737 MAX for its future narrowbody fleet, with an outstanding order for 27 more aircraft.
