Air France PA_230x150 — A traveler carrying luggage walks past a moving Air France plane one day after the crash of Ethiopian Airways Flight 302 at JFK Airport on March 11, 2019 in New York City. Ethiopian Airways Flight 302 crashed on Sunday shortly after takeoff, killing all 157 aboard and raising questions about the safety of the aircraft model, the Boeing 737 Max 8. The Civil Aviation Administration of China ordered that all domestic Boeing 737 MAX 8 jets be out of the air by 6 p.m. local time, due to its principle of "zero tolerance for safety hazards." American Airlines, Southwest Airlines as well as other airlines which have many MAX 8 aircraft in their fleet have no plans to ground those planes at the moment.
