Boeing has come under intense scrutiny since the crash, the second in five months involving its new 737 MAX 8 model. Any fixes to the MAX software must still get approval from the US Federal Aviation Administration and eventually from governments around the world, a process that could take months. The statement came a day after Ethiopian Airlines CEO Tewolde Gebremariam said he expected the preliminary report to be released this week or next week.The initial report from the investigation will begin to paint a more detailed picture of what went wrong during ET 302’s six minutes in the air, likely with huge consequences for the plane’s manufacturer, the airline, or both.
All of that could hinge on what the investigation reveals. Most crash investigations end up pinpointing a combination of factors.
