SINGAPORE-based SIA Group pulled its SilkAir Boeing 737 Max 8 fleet from service following the Ethiopian Airlines crash in which all 157 passengers on board perished.
The disaster on March 10, 2019, was the second fatal crash involving the Boeing 737 Max 8 model. Approximately six months earlier, a Lion Air domestic flight had crashed 13 minutes after taking off from Jakarta, Indonesia. Both crashes bore chilling similarities which propelled airlines around the world to pull the bestselling Boeing model off air routes.
The problem appeared to stem from a fault in the anti-stall safety feature of the plane which sent both planes into a nose dive. Chicago-based Boeing acknowledged in a statement that it had to correct flaws and is working to return the grounded Max 8 jets to service.
