Ethiopian Airlines announced Wednesday that it would send the voice and data recorders from its ill-fated Flight 302 to be analyzed abroad, as more countries said they were banning planes of the same type from operating in their airspace.
Ethiopian Airlines Chief Executive Tewolde Gebremariam told CNN on Tuesday that the pilot reported"flight-control problems" and asked to return to the airport.
In remarks to local media, Tewolde also revealed that pilots received additional training from Boeing to fly the 737 Max after an Indonesian domestic Lion Air flight crashed into the Java Sea shortly after takeoff last year. Following the Indonesian crash, Boeing issued a bulletin warning about potential issues with an automated anti-stalling system on the 737 Max plane that could push the nose down.
