US aviation agencies disputed certain elements of Ethiopia’s latest report into the deadly Boeing Co. 737 Max crash near Addis Ababa in 2019, including findings related to actions taken by the flight crew.

In comments attached to the near-350 page document published on Dec. 23, the US groups including the National Transportation Safety Board also said there was enough evidence to suggest a bird may have contributed in some way to the Ethiopian Airlines Group incident.
