An interim report into the deadly Boeing Co. 737 Max crash in Ethiopia that led to the grounding of the U.S. company’s top-selling model is set to be released in time for the first anniversary of the tragedy.
The report will be published by March 10, Ethiopian Transport Ministry spokesman Musie Yehyies told Bloomberg on Friday. The decision not to release full findings, as targeted by the United Nations within a year of a crash, means it’s not clear how far the statement will go in reaching conclusions that might be damaging to Boeing, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration or the flight’s operator, Ethiopian Airlines.
