ADDIS ABABA - The chief executive of Ethiopian Airlines has rejected media reports that optional equipment for Boeing 737 MAX planes was critical for safety aboard a flight that crashed this month.
In a sign of the impact on Boeing’s business, Indonesia’s Garuda is pushing to dump a $6 billion order for the grounded planes. “When Boeing supplies aircraft there are items which are mandatory for safety and then there are optional items,” he added, noting the angle of attack indicator was optional.
“We have chosen not to fit this particular optional extra ...it is not a safety critical feature nor is it a requirement by any aviation authority,” Norwegian told Reuters.
