Two U.S. airlines fly the 737 MAX 8—the type of jet that crashed last year in Indonesia killing 189 people and on Sunday in Ethiopia killing all 157 on board.

American Airlines—which flies 24 of the new planes—said in a statement to CNN on Monday, March 11, that it is monitoring the investigation in Ethiopia and following last year’s Federal Aviation Administration directive after the crash in Indonesia of Lion Air Flight 610.
