Virgin Australia is slated to receive the first of 30 Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft in November, and the carrier has not yet changed its plans in the wake of the latest fatal incident involving the plane. Ethiopian Airlines has grounded its fleet of 737 MAX 8s following the loss of one plane with 157 passengers and crew. The pilot had reported technical difficulties shortly before the crash, which is similar to the circumstances surrounding the downing of a Lion Air 737 MAX 8 in late October.

Olivia Wirth, head of branding and corporate affairs at Qantas Airways, has announced that the carrier will progressively replace the seats on its aircraft with ones that feature a new in-flight entertainment system. It offers touch screen controls and a greater range of content, and supplements the on-board Wi-Fi technology that allows passengers to use their own mobile devices. The size of the seatback screens will also grow, to as much as 16 inches in business class. Similar systems are offered by rival Virgin Australia
