Ethiopian Airlines announced that it has successfully launched its first test flight of Boeing 737 Max in three years.

The airline conducted the test flight on its return flight from Addis Ababa to Kenya.

The airline also mentioned that the Boeing 737 ET-AVI ET 9201 was one of the planes that was banned from operating after the crash due to technical problems with the Boeing flight control unit in 2018.

The flight was returned from Bole International Airport to Nairobi Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Kenya, Kenya, according to the report.

The test is the first of its kind since a Boeing plane crash caused technical problems, resulting in the loss of many lives and property.

ENA reports that such a test flight could be used as an eye-opener to bring Boeing back to normal.
