A raft of nations have temporarily suspended Boeing 737 Max flights after the fatal plane crash in Ethiopia, but the United States and Canada are still flying a substantial number of those models

A raft of nations have temporarily suspended Boeing 737 Max flights after the fatal plane crash in Ethiopia but the United States and Canada are still flying a substantial number of those models.

The European Union began suspending Boeing 737 Max flights in Europe on Tuesday, joining more than a dozen nations and aviation authorities that have halted the aircraft's operations all over the world. The move came after a Max 8 flight from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, to Nairobi, Kenya, crashed Sunday into a field six minutes after takeoff, killing all 157 people on board.

Two crashes, 6 months: What to know about the Boeing 737 MAX 01:54China's aviation administration became the first to order a suspension Monday evening, grounding all domestic Boeing 737 Max 8 jets due to its principle of"zero tolerance for safety hazards."China has one of the world's largest fleets of Boeing 737 Max 8s, operating 97 of the planes, according to Chinese state-run media.But the fallout has appeared to affect Boeing's bottom line.

Why? What is cost of that?

Reporting history, Canada & U.S. have also grounded the 737 MAX 8.

Money and greed.

Australia

What about middle East?

We also have two Nigerian Professors among the passengers who died in the ill-fated Boeing Plane that crashed some few days ago.

Nobody will have a blame on pilots, it's the problem of the plane that caused the crashes so they must be grounded.

You have greater chance of getting killed in a car accident on the way to the airport. There are of 35,000 killed every year in car accidents. There hasn’t been a fatal plane crash in the US since February 2009.

FunmilayoMarg7 Aunty, Canada grounded the Boeing 737 Max this afternoon as well.

你们美国最厉害,还不停飞👍👍👍

what's up with North America groundboeing737max8 GroundThe737Max

rosluund EU is not a country

I think it's just political maneuver.

Canada has grounded some of them because some countries have closed their airspace to these planes so Canada had no choice

Not now

Canada just grounded them.

Trump has grounded them in the USA

Canada grounder the aircraft wayyyyy earlier today

Nope, it’s only the US now. Trump’s policies are going to get people killed.

Canad now has grounded all those planes. We know and expect better from our govt. USA stands for nothing and hence we expect the least from them.

Canada has now officially grounded them too.

How I wish windows and doors of exit are builded in an airplane

Canada also says no

Canada is not flying them as of today and restricting inbound flights of Max 8

Canada too..

Canada grounded them today.

Canada isn't

You can take Canada off the list now !!!

And flyethiopian grounded all BoeingAirplanes 737 max

I think Canada suspended?

Nigeria had banned the Boeing 737 Max planes in her airspace...World please note

Italy grounded em too

It’s nice that realDonaldTrump makes it plain to that he doesn’t care about other countries,he’s only interested in making America great again and we’re reaping the diplomatic rewards

Some of the countries better to live in than the United States: ❌ ❌ ❌ Oh...none. Report the truth. These countries did not require as much training as the U.S. FakeNews

Time to update this list, no?

Take Canada off the list now

deray Canada grounded all 737 Max’s today

Boeing loves you Trump but people demand reassurance now that the government shutdown is over. So far autonomous planes have proven to be a failure.

I think Canada has change its mind!

Let’s face it America fails to be proactive in a number of things. Tragedies must happen first. Airlines don’t want to take the financial hit - it’s all about money.

deray Canada just grounded them

...but the money!

RevanAthame Canada has now grounded their Max 8 flights. The US is standing alone in this now.

Lmao US and Canada really be trying to kill y'all and reduce some population huh

I sure hope America doesn't ban these planes. They should be mandatory corporate jets for CNN employees.

Oman as well

Canada has suspended Boeing 737 now as well.

Add Nigeria to it ...

MarcGarneau Canadians expect safe travel

Politicians are losing a lot of money if Boeing takes a hit

No African Country? I hope they don’t finally send these death traps to our continent for re-testing.

$1st.

These planes are flying all the time. 2 crashes and were going to ban the planes? Is it really the plane's fault?

I d like the Investigation to NOT rule out, Cyber Terrorism attack , on the aircrafts computer auto pilot systems , linked to passenger personnel on board , who may be targets.

Could it be possible that we just have a lot more safety regulations than the other countries

North America can't ground itself of these planes when it has alternatives.

Please I can’t see Nigeria on this list, I thought flyairpeace just did?

And Scandinavia , Denmark, Sweden and Norway. Thank you 😉

This is good!! USA and Canada leading the way. Besides, this isn't going to stop loony liberals from flying. They are going to pay and jump on board like everybody else.

Is 58 really a substantial number

As a flight attendant i am disgusted by the FAA right now..care more about money then lives

Canada and the United States have the best actual pilots in the world that don’t need an MIT degree to fly...

美国制造也是劣质品。

cchukudebelu The murderous computer operated aircraft truly deserve a ban

The EU isn’t a country!

I don’t understand why US & Canada don’t ground rhe planes. Better to err on the side of caution. If I were a passenger, I would be concerned.

You forgot RUSSIA!!!

USA in the Pocket of Boeing

Worst case: 1 of the planes in the US will crash, then there will be a lot of finger pointing, maybe another 1 of those pointless congressional hearings. Family members of the perished will sue & end up settling with airlines. There isn't interest in security of people in the US.

Of course Unites States is still flying them it’s all about the money first and safety second in this country.

I see that Airbus spending lots of $$ on this.... hmmm...

I don't fly any more. I don't trust the planes, the people on the flights and the whole thing in general. This list just underscores my wise decision

Waiting for third crash? Canada why?

We Stan a final destination moment

Norway 🇳🇴

Lobbyists must be writing checks at a frenzy to keep those planes in the air.

After no real conclusive investigation conclusion as to the cause of the recent crash.

Why is US and Canada still flying it? Oh yeah no worries nevermind we just got better pilots.

Canada has no balls, scared to stand up to the USA 🇺🇸 period.

Who’s gonna start blaming the mechanics who work on them day in and day out? Are they trained properly to keep these planes operating properly? Are the airlines cutting corners on needed maintenance. These planes have been proven safe.

ALEMAYEHUTEGENU SouthwestAir AmericanAir & UNITEDA1RLINES have the most 737 Max 8. Friends make sure you are not flying on the max 8 if you are flying with those carries groundboeing737max8

Rest of the world: This sounds unsafe & dangerous. We'd better stop using this plane, so that no one gets hurt. USA: Hold my beer...

The EU is not a country, continent would be more correctly. Just saying

North American pilots are better trained.

Comair (South Africa) and Royal Air Maroc were amongst the firsts to ground the 737 Max. But yeah not worth mentioning African countries...

Ethiopia

I’ve never been on a plane at 69 yrs. old & don’t plan on ever being on one!

😂🤣🤣🤣🤣 The EU is not a country you numpty. It's a collection of Countries.

When you pay to play the result is predictable. When you have a private jet or fly on Air Force 1, who cares.

So what's your point ?

NOT FLYING 737 I suggest you all look at the itinerary before you book your flight!

I can't believe ppl are getting on the planes. WTF is wrong with ppl that are standing up for themselves and refuse to fly on these planes

Gee, the one country/govt that can't afford any problematic economic impact let's people fly on unsafe planes.

What about Ethiopia?

Money talks...... FAA. Bought n paid for.

AirCanada WestJet Must you make Canada look like a global fool?

How is the Lawsuit going?

Add South Africa.Local Cartier Comair has grounded its planes.🇿🇦

jeffnjodycolli1 I get why the US is being criminally stupid (tRump was bought by Boeing) but why is Canada in on this?

What is wrong with Canada not standing for safety of flying public from for America,with Trump’s leadership there nothing he takes seriously even he doesn’t care about the entire world by pulling out from climate agreement.

acting secretary of defense is a former boeing executive. coincidence?

baalat1 Cause 💰💰💰💰❤️❤️

Why are you CNN so anti USA?

Sad!!!...

Just a reminder that this is the 2nd fatal accident involving this model aircraft in only a matter of months with both planes crashing in very similar circumstances just after takeoff.

Totally Trumps fault, right CNN? He broke the planes in India & Ethiopia. Come on, we know you can spin it to blame Trump! ROTFLMAO

Sort of humourus that you care now. Where were you during the continuing and massive murders in Illinois?

The EU is not a country!!!!!!! This is why I can't wait for Brexit!!!!!

The indifference toward safety is staggering. Are they trying to prove something because Boeing is American, or do they just not give a crap except for American wallets! 💎

Seems pretty clear where the greed here exists & who is expendable.

You realize the US hasn't done anything with mass gun violence... planes, unless foreign piloted, don't even make the list.

Boeings jobs are more important than the risks. realDonaldTrump

add Chile to the list...

Still! But where?

Boeing is a US company. Whaddaya expect? If it was a Chinese company, I bet Trump would have made it a mountainous issue as well.

Think again: who started? China

BOEING737MAX8

Exactamente. Porque tengo la seguridad de que estos aviones an sido blancos del terrorismo del taliban.

Hopefully no one does Canada

CNN running this story hard lol.

BoycottBoeing737Max8

marigold33333 Kenya too.. we lost 32 in the wreckage.

Typical

Wow never knew that EU is a country.....

It would be like suspending the Big Mac or the Whopper. It's hard to do, but sometimes it's mandatory!

MattMurph24 I'm not getting on one

The first crash was determined to be pilot error

Let’s all listen to trolls bots.

Rest of the African countries must follow suit

Which is surprising as CBCNews reported that Canada is not cancelling as there planes are EU and US regulated...yet EU have grounded 🤔 SunwingVacay however have grounded there’s

To put this in perspective....there are 350 Boeing 737 Max 8s in service.... .05% (2) have crashed. Less than .000001% of the flights have crashed....

Most of those countries don't allow full term abortion either. Are you advocating the US follow their lead on abortion?

Trump doesn't care about the lives of Americans. Money and friendliness to big businesses are more important to him.

I will check the plane before buying a ticket next time!

There are 77 Boeing 737 Max 8’s in the United States. Some airlines have stopped flying them. That leaves only 21 airplanes that are still being utilized....21. This is how panic starts.

realDonaldTrump spoke to Boeing CEO. “The pilots were from shithole countries and are too stupid to fly,” said Donny. Dennis Muilenburg agreed. “Let’s wait until 737 goes down in USA!” They hung up. 737max8boycott dumbTrump airSafety

Ethiopia 🇪🇹

If one of the remaining ones crashes now it will be a shit show of epic proportions.

Good idea, the CEO and board of directors at Boeing should all board on one of their 737 Max 8 plane for a trip around the world to reassure us that is safe enough for people to use.

When a US 737 goes down it will be to late. They should be grounded NOW.

FakeNews is barely a couple dozen planes. And the ones 'grounded' by these other countries is a show for Airbus . Did you even do the slightest bit of research for this article or did you BuzzFeed it again?

immichaelmoore csilvestre09 look who hasn't banned them...

And Ethiopia. You know, the country that was recently left devastated. Crazy how you’re happy to use the cause of their devastation to make your point but haven’t taken a minute to remember the Ethiopians that perished and their families!

Can I have the opinion of a pilot of the 737 Max please?

This! From a dimwit that can't operate a desk phone!

Dear Crooked And Fake CNN Viewers,

India has also suspended Boeing 737 Max flights.

President doesnt care about peoples lives if it wasnt already obvious if it was airforce one he would be shitting his pants

WOW, 'Chicago' airplane manufacturing screws up again. They've never been the same since leaving Seattle.

By now, US Pilots are far more aware of the probable issue and how to handle it than the pilots of the downed plane were. There are FAA reports by pilots describing similar issues that were handled by pilots who disengaged the system. Flights are safe, Boeing still needs to fix.

OMG! What does it mean for Boeing's Business Continuity?

And the pilots flying them are very comfortable doing so. Report the entire story.

Canada will wait til the States makes a decision

Maybe you should specify the EU means 28 countries..... Which makes the list considerably longer.

This is very good ... The company making these inferior aircrafts should study harder and test run their products properly before releasing them into the market and endangering people's lives

Is there a need for a 3rd plane to crash?

Canada did too

Southwest says it remains 'confident' in its fleet of Boeing planes after Ethiopia crashSouthwest Airlines Co. expressed confidence in its Boeing Co. aircraft and said has no plans to change operations in the wake of a deadly crash involving a 737 Max 8 aircraft in Ethiopia. But shares of the airline fell over 3% in premarket trading, alongside a nearly 9% drop in Boeing shares. "As Southwest operates a fleet of 34 Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft, we have been in contact with Boeing and will continue to stay close to the investigation as it progresses," said a spokesman for the company. Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 crashed shortly after takeoff from the capitol of Addis Ababa, killing all 157 people on board. It's the second deadly accident involving Boeing's popular 737 Max 8 in six months, with the last occurring in October when an Indonesia Lion Air jet crashed into the sea, killing all 189 on board. China's civilian aviation authority has ordered all airlines to ground those Max 8 planes, while Ethiopian Airlines has grounded its entire fleet of those planes. "We don't have any changes planned to our operational policies or procedures," said the Southwest spokesman. Losses for Boeing drove a 170-point drop in Dow futures. Boeing needs to ground all these new 737's immediately Caution is warranted pending the investigation and review of the facts at hand. Dont be a hero
