BREAKING: The Civil Aviation Safety Authority has temporarily suspended the operation of Boeing 737 Max aircraft. It comes after a Boeing 737 Max crashed in Ethiopia on Sunday, killing all 157 people on board. MORE:
Boeing says it will deploy a software upgrade for the 737 MAX following the Ethiopian Airlines crash in which 157 people died.
The company said it had been developing a flight control software enhancement for several months in the aftermath of the Lion Air Flight 610 disaster last year, when the airliner crashed into the sea off Indonesia, killing all 189 on board. It said the changes were designed to make 'an already safe aircraft even safer'. However two major crashes in the space of less than five months have raised questions about the safety of the 737 MAX.
