ADDIS ABABA/OSLO - Ethiopian Airlines said on Wednesday it would send the black boxes from its crashed Boeing 737 MAX abroad, while a Norwegian airline sought compensation from the U.S. planemaker after two thirds of that model were grounded globally.
That has spooked the global airline industry and heaped pressure on Boeing, whose shares have plunged. “There is no capacity here so the black box will be sent elsewhere for analysis. The investigation team will decide where,” the spokesman told Reuters.That could be in Europe, the company’s CEO told CNN.U.S. officials said the black box devices suffered some damage but they were confident of some initial results within 24 hours of the data being downloaded.
Resisting pressure, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration’s acting administrator Dan Elwel said its review had shown “no systemic performance issues and provides no basis to order grounding the aircraft”.
