Black boxes from Ethiopia crash to go to Europe for analysis: airline spokesman

The black boxes from a Boeing 737 MAX 8 plane that crashed in Ethiopia, killing 157 people, will be sent to Europe for analysis, a spokesman for Ethiopia Airlines said on Wednesday.

“It will be taken to Europe,” Asrat Begashaw told Reuters. He declined to say which country, adding: “It will be decided today or tomorrow.”

He said the airline would consider whether to proceed with an order for more 737 MAX 8s after the preliminary investigation.
