The Boeing 737 Max-plane, which underwent a routine maintenance check on February 4, was flying from Addis Ababa’s Bole International Airport to Nairobi’s Jomo Kenyatta International Airport when it crashed. Earlier this year, Boeing delivered the first 737 MAX 8 to Comair Limited, making it the first airline in sub-Sahara Africa to operate the fuel-efficient jet.
Comair said it had ordered eight of these aircraft as part of its fleet renewal strategy, with the last one due for delivery in 2022.
