Boeing jets in Ethiopia and Indonesia lacked two safety features in their cockpits because the company charged extra to install them.
Boeing will now make the disagree light free of charge on all new 737 Max planes, after the deadly crashes caused all 737 planes to be grounded, according to the New York Times. The angle of attack indicator will remain an option that airlines can purchase, the report said. The company is also planning a new software update.
Boeing did not immediately respond to CNBC's request for comment. Ethiopian Airlines said in a statement on Thursday that their pilots had been following FAA and Boeing guidance.
