Britain, France, Germany and the Netherlands on Tuesday closed their airspace to Boeing 737 Max 8 planes as global pressure mounted to halt flights of the U.S. aircraft giant’s hottest-selling model.

The announcement came as a team of U.S. aviation experts joined the arduous task of data collection at the site of the Ethiopian Airlines jet crash that killed all 157 aboard two days ago.
The MAX 8 was just 4 months old and six minutes into a Nairobi-bound flight from Addis Ababa on Sunday when it nosedived into a field. The crash occurred less than five months after a Lion Air plane of the same model crashed into the Java Sea – 12 minutes after departing from the airport in Jakarta, Indonesia. None of the 189 passengers and crew survived.
China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Oman and Australia are among nations that also have temporarily grounded the planes. Turkish Airlines, Polish carrier LOT and Norwegian Air Shuttle on Tuesday joined more than two dozen airlines parking their Max 8s.
