US federal aviation authorities have said they will order Boeing to modify its 737 MAX 8 aircraft, including anti-stalling software and manoeuvering system updates.

Indonesia said it was grounding 11 of the jets - 10 of which are operated by Lion Air and one flown by national carrier Garuda.

"With the investigations still ongoing with the Indonesian event, I'm not sure if there's any concern for the aircraft type yet until the evidence suggests there is something going on," "I think it will come down to seeing what evidence is consistent before any moves are made, to do anything against the fleet of MAX 8s, Dr Bruce said.

A carrier spokesman told SBS News it was too early to comment on whether the Ethiopian crash would impact the order.Elsewhere, airlines have said they will continue flying the aircraft pending an investigation, while others continued to operate without commenting.
