Ethiopian Airlines 737 Max crash: Boeing ordered to pay 49.5 million USD to victim's relatives

A federal jury in Chicago has ordered Boeing to compensate the family of Samya Stumo, a 24-year-old American woman who died in the 2019 Ethiopian Airlines 737 Max crash.

The U.S. manufacturer has been ordered to pay 49.5 million USD to the victim’s family.

This ruling is part of a series of civil lawsuits linked to two Boeing 737 Max crashes that claimed a total of 346 lives in Ethiopia and Indonesia.

On 10 March 2019, Flight ET302 from Addis Ababa to Nairobi crashed six minutes after takeoff, killing all 157 people on board.
