An Ethiopian Airlines Boeing 737 MAX 8 crashed shortly after takeoff on March 10, killing all 149 passengers and eight crew members aboard. This was the second catastrophic accident involving the aircraft, following a crash in Indonesia in October 2018, which killed 189 people. 

The model was then grounded by China, the U.S. and other countries. Investigations blamed a faulty sensor and problems with the flight control system.

On December 16, Boeing announced it would suspend the production of the aircraft beginning in January 2020.
