The European Union's aviation safety agency has banned the model of a Boeing aircraft that was involved in two fatal crashes, including an accident on Sunday that killed nearly 160 passengers and crew members.

"Following the tragic accident of Ethiopian Airlines flight ET302 involving a Boeing 737 Max 8, the European Union Aviation Safety Agency is taking every necessary step to ensure the safety of passengers," it said.

The decision came after France, Britain, Germany, Malaysia and Oman joined nearly 10 other countries in suspending the Boeing 737 Max 8 passenger jet from operating in their respective airspace after its second fatal crash in five months.

Airlines in countries across the globe, including China, Turkey, Indonesia, Brazil and Mexico, Australia, Singapore, South Korea and Norway also have grounded all the Max 8 jets in their fleets.
