CHICAGO,
March 17, 2019 /PRNewswire/
-- Boeing Chairman, President and CEO Dennis Muilenburg issued the following statement
regarding the report from Ethiopian Transport Minister Dagmawit Moges today.
First and foremost, our deepest sympathies are with the families
and loved ones of those onboard Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302.
Boeing continues to support the investigation, and is working
with the authorities to evaluate new information as it becomes
available. Safety is our highest priority as we design, build and
support our airplanes. As part of our standard practice
following any accident, we examine our aircraft design and
operation, and when appropriate, institute product updates to
further improve safety. While investigators continue to work
to establish definitive conclusions, Boeing is finalizing its
development of a previously-announced software update and pilot
training revision that will address the MCAS flight control law's
behavior in response to erroneous sensor inputs. We also
continue to provide technical assistance at the request of and
under the direction of the National Transportation Safety Board,
the U.S. Accredited Representative working with Ethiopian
investigators.
In accordance with international protocol, all inquiries about
the ongoing accident investigation must be directed to the
investigating authorities.
