The China Southern Airlines flight took off in the afternoon for the city of Zhengzhou, the tracking website showed.An Ethiopian Airlines flight that crashed shortly after takeoff from Addis Ababa killed 157 people.

The aircraft was cleared to fly again in the United States, followed by other countries, after modifications were made to the flight control software and pilot training.
