Boeing plans to deploy a software update for its 737 Max plane “designed to make an already safe aircraft even safer,” the company said in a statement two days after an Ethiopian Airlines 737 Max crashed and killed all 157 passengers.

The company noted on Tuesday that a flight control software enhancement for the aircraft model has been in the works for several months, following last year’s Lion Air Flight 610 crash of the same model that killed 189 people flying out of Indonesia.
