The Chief Executive Officer of Ethiopian Airlines, Tewolde  GebreMariam, said the company will keep close ties with U.S. plane maker Boeing, despite a tragic crash just over two weeks ago.

Both companies have been partners for a while – In a statement on Monday, Tewolde said both companies have been partners for many years and that Ethiopian Airways believes in the jet maker.

“Let me be clear; Ethiopian Airlines believes in Boeing. They have been a partner of ours for many years. More than two-thirds of our fleet are Boeing. We were the first African airline to fly the 767, 757, 777-200LR, and we were the second nation in the world after Japan to take delivery of the 787 Dreamliner.

“Despite the tragedy, Boeing and Ethiopian Airlines will continue to be linked well into the future.”

Ethiopia Airlines promises to investigate the crash – Tewolde promised to work closely with an investigation team looking into the crash, after reports that the probe was under strain because the Ethiopian authorities were not sharing information with international partners.
