Boeing is sued by relatives of a Swedish woman who died in a plane crash in Ethiopia in 2019, writes Dagens Nyheter.
None of the 157 people on board survived when a Boeing 737 Max crashed. Four of the dead were Swedish.
Five months earlier, a plane of the same type had similarly crashed shortly after take-off from Jakarta in Indonesia.
At first the pilots were blamed for the crash, but then it turned out that it was software on the new type of aircraft that was incorrect and a month after the crash in Ethiopia, Boeing took responsibility.
In the lawsuit, which the relatives filed in a United States court, the aircraft manufacturer must pay damages and compensation for the suffering. Sums are not mentioned.
The Swede was working with aid and was addressing the UN environmental conference in Nairobi. He left a younger daughter.
