Boeing 737 MAX-8: Which airlines are still operating the controversial plane after Ethiopian crash?

At least six countries have ordered the grounding of all Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft, citing the Ethiopian Airlines crash and another deadly accident of that same model in Indonesia, but many continue to fly.

On Sunday, the Ethiopian Airline aircraft carrying 157 passengers and crew went down six minutes after its early morning take-off from Addis Ababa, killing all on board.

It is the second time in six months that the aircraft model has been involved in a horrific crash shortly after takeoff.

In October 2018, Lion Air Flight 610 with 189 people on board crashed into the Java Sea off the coast of Indonesia just 13 minutes after takeoff, killing all on board.

Elsewhere, airlines have said they will continue flying the aircraft pending an investigation, while others continued to operate without commenting.
