The Federal Bureau of Investigation is now investigating the plane's original certification process.
Boeing says it is working on changes to the training and operation of its 737 MAX plane that has suffered two major crashes within the space of six months.
Boeing's Vice President for commercial plane marketing, Randy Tinseth, told a Bank of America Merrill conference in London on Thursday that he expected the Federal Aviation Administration to certify updates to the jet's flight control software, on board displays, flight manual and training. Boeing's chief salesman said data from the Ethiopian crash was still filtering through and it was still to draw full conclusions about the crash.Crash investigators in both accidents are focusing on the plane's stall-prevention system, known as the manoeuvring characteristics augmentation system . It has been reported that the system may have forced the plane's nose down following erroneous data from just one sensor.
