Garneau said the decision to issue the safety notice was made after his department received new data suggesting a similarity between the Ethiopian Airlines crash and another deadly crash off Indonesia in October. He pointed out, however, that the information was new and unproven.
"There are — and I hasten to say not conclusive — but there are similarities," he said. "My departmental officials continue to monitor the situation and I will not hesitate to take swift action should we discover any additional safety issues."
