A lawsuit has been filed against aircraft manufacturer Boeing in the wake of the Ethiopian Airlines crash which killed 157 people on March 10th.
The lawsuit, filed by the family of Jackson Musoni, a Rwandan citizen who died in the crash, is the first to be filed against the company.
The claims in question are in relation to the manufacturing of Boeing’s 737 aircraft, which it is alleged contained a defective automated flight control system.
Boeing said on Wednesday it had reprogrammed software on its 737 MAX to prevent erroneous data from triggering an anti-stall system that is facing mounting scrutiny in the wake of two deadly nose-down crashes in the past five months.
