Travel website Kayak will soon allow flyers to filter by plane model, including the 737 Max jet
The company is introducing the feature after a Boeing 737 Max jet flown by Ethiopian Airlines crashed Sunday, killing everyone aboard. It was the second time that type of jet was involved in a fatal crash in less than five months. A Lion Air jet from Indonesia went down shortly after takeoff last October.
Sometimes airlines change flight equipment at the last minute. A flight that originally listed an older Boeing 737 on the reservation, for example, could use a 737 Max instead. Passengers are growing concerned about flying on the 737 Max planes in the wake of the crashes. InsureMyTrip, a travel insurance company, said Wednesday it has received a growing number of calls from concerned travelers who don't want to fly on a Boeing 737 Max.
