The accident followed another incident five months earlier, when the same model crashed in Indonesia, killing 189 people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>\u2192 <a

a demonstration flight around Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa\u2019s highest mountain, and return to Addis Ababa with journalists, diplomats and officials onboard, the airline said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some relatives of those killed in the Ethiopian Airlines crash were angered by the decision to resume flying the 737 MAX, <a

said Tom Kabau, a Kenyan lawyer who lost his 29-year-old brother George in the crash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>\u2192 <a

work and the more than 20 months of rigorous rectification process \u2026 our pilots, engineers, aircraft technicians, cabin crew are confident of the safety of the fleet,\u201d the airline\u2019s CEO Tewolde Gebremariam said in a December statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Photo: LLBG Spotter\/<a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Ethiopian_Airlines_ET-AVJ_takeoff.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"
