Ethiopia is shaping the focus on the safety of software installed in Boeing 737 MAX planes.

The Ethiopian Airlines disaster eight days ago killed 157 people, grounded Boeing’s marquee MAX fleet worldwide, and sparked a high-stakes inquiry for the shaken aviation industry.

Lawmakers and safety experts are asking how thoroughly regulators vetted the system and how well pilots around the world were trained for it when their airlines bought new planes. It also said the Federal Aviation Administration followed a standard certification process on the MAX rather than detailed extra inquiries.The Wall Street Journal reported that federal prosecutors and U.S. Department of Transportation were scrutinising the FAA’s approval of the MAX series, while a jury had issued a subpoena to at least one person involved in its development.

The inquiry is not only crucial to give some closure to the families of the victims, who came from nearly 30 countries but also has huge financial implications for Boeing and its many customers worldwide.
