, NAIROBI, Kenya, Apr 16 – A Kenyan family has sued United States plane manufacturers Boeing over the wrongful death of their kin, George Kabau, in last month’s plane crash involving Ethiopian Airlines flight 302. A consortium of Kenyan and American law firms announced the first litigation against Boeing on April 3, on behalf of eight Kenyan families. The family of a Rwandan citizen who died in the March 10 crash was the first to file a lawsuit against Boeing at a US federal court on March 28. “Boeing’s 737 MAX Flight Crew Operations Manual (FCOM) already outlines an existing procedure to safely handle the unlikely event of erroneous data coming from an angle of attack (AOA) sensor. We’re nearing completion and anticipate its certification and implementation on the 737 MAX fleet worldwide in the weeks ahead.
