Boeing 737 Max planes grounded in Europe, elsewhere after Ethiopia crash

Published Tuesday, March 12, 2019 12:45PM EDTA growing number of aviation authorities around the world have grounded the Boeing 737 Max 8, but Canada says it currently has no plans to do the same. is among those temporarily restricting the use of the Max 8 plane, stating in a press release Tuesday that it was a “precautionary measure.”

“EASA is continuously analyzing the data as it becomes available,” the release said. “The accident investigation is currently ongoing, and it is too early to draw any conclusions as to the cause of the accident” The move to remove the passenger jet from some countries’ skies comes after the crash of an Ethiopian Airlines plane that killed 157 people on Sunday, less than six months after the same type of jet from Indonesia crashed into the ocean, killing 189.

“It is important to let the professionals determine the cause,” Canada’s Transport Minister Marc Garneau said on Monday. “Flying is a very safe way to travel in this country, the statistics show that very, very clearly.”that he had cancelled all his meetings and public engagements to meet with his civil aviation expert panel. “All evidence is being evaluated in real time and we’re considering all potential actions,” he wrote.

A number of Canadian airlines operate the Boeing 737 Max 8, including Air Canada, which has 24 of the jets, according to

Hope they get the software and training sorted as I’m due to fly on one at end of vacation in 2 weeks.

Garneau will wait until a Canadian plane crashes before grounding them. Must wait until a certain number of passengers killed before acting.

tl;dr US and Canada are the only two nations remaining that still have them in the air

*but NOT in Trump's 'Merika Boeing PayToPlay WhiteHouse

And North American governments won’t do a thing to protect Boeing.

Good. They need to stay on the ground until this problem is resolved. It was reported by multiple Pilots prior to the second crash and complete loss. Passengers and crew don't sign up for this.AirCanada WestJet please do the right thing. GroundMax
