KQ mulls cancelling Boeing order after Ethiopia air crash

The Boeing 737 Max crash in Ethiopia looks increasingly likely to hit the planemaker’s order book as mounting safety concerns prompt airlines to reconsider purchases worth about $57 billion (Sh5.7 trillion).

VietJet Aviation JSC, which doubled its order to 200 of the aircraft priced at about $25 billion (Sh2.5 trillion) only last month, said it will decide on its future plans once the cause of the tragedy has been found.
