The airline crashed shortly after taking off from Bole International Airport in Addis Ababa. It was en-route to Nairobi Kenya.
The pilot of #ET302 (Boeing 737 MAX 8) is said to have reported difficulties with the aircraft to ATC.
Details of the first report of investigations into the crash showed that pilots of the jet followed all procedures but were unable to take control of the plane.
The American jet maker, Boeing has said in July that it would give $100 million to help families affected by the deadly crashes of its 737 MAX planes in Indonesia and Ethiopia.
The money according to the company will be released over multiple years to local governments and non-profit organizations.
