On March 20, 2019, The New York Times published a report entitled “Ethiopian Airlines Had a Max 8 Simulator, but Pilot on Doomed Flight Didn’t Receive Training”

The Problem is Selam Gebrekidan, New York Times reporter who happens to be of Ethiopian origin, seems to have wanted to make important details relevant to the story appear rather murky.

She wrote, “The people, who spoke on condition of anonymity because Ethiopian Airlines had not authorized disclosure of the information, said the carrier had the Max 8 simulator up and running in January, two months before Flight 302 crashed.”

Ethiopian Airlines reacted to the story right away and it is claiming that the report is wrong.

The airlines tweeted:

Ethiopian Airlines expresses its disappointment on the following wrong reporting of the @nytimes titled “Ethiopian Airlines Had a Max 8 Simulator, but Pilot on Doomed Flight Didn’t Receive Training”
As well, Ethiopian issued a press statement pointing out as to what was exactly wrong with the New York Times’ reporting.
