Ethiopian Airlines "believes in" Boeing despite the crash of a Boeing 737 MAX 8 plane killing all 157 people on board and that led to the model's grounding, the carrier's CEO said on Monday.

"Let me be clear: Ethiopian Airlines believes in Boeing. They have been a partner of ours for many years," Tewolde GebreMariam wrote in a statement.
