The Civil Aviation Administration of China said Sunday's Ethiopian Airlines crash and a Lion Air crash that occurred in October have certain similarities which have caused concern over the Boeing aircraft.
China's aviation authority said on Monday morning local time that it has issued a notice to ground all Boeing 737 Max 8 planes used by domestic airlines in response to the recent Ethiopian Airlines crash which killed 157 people.
The notice, issued at 9 a.m. local time, would suspend commercial operation of the aircraft until 6 p.m. on Monday. The Ethiopian Airlines crash occurred six minutes after takeoff on Sunday aboard a Boeing 737 Max 8 plane. This is the second crash involving a Boeing 737 Max 8 plane in recent months — in October, Lion Air flight 610 crashed into the Java Sea 12 minutes after takeoff.
