The Boeing 737 Max has been banned from operating worldwide since March 2019 following two crashes of this class, the first in Indonesia in October 2018 and the second in March 2019, killing 346 people in Ethiopia.
A Canadian plane crash has killed 157 people, including 18 Canadians, according to Bloomberg News.
