Boeing has developed new software features on its automatic flight control system following two deadly crashes in the past 5 months on its 737 aircraft.
Boeing is currently under pressure to prove their 737 MAX aircrafts are safe and that pilots have the training to override the system in an emergency.
However, a Boeing official said the timing of the upgrades is “100 per cent independent” of the recent Ethiopian crash involving one of their 737 MAX aircraft.
Mike Sinnett, Vice-President for product strategy and future airplane development said the company is doing everything they can to avoid deadly crashes in the future.
