Canadian Transport Minister Marc Garneau said he issued what he calls a “safety notice” after new data was reviewed Wednesday morning

Garneau said the new information reviewed Wednesday is satellite tracking data that is collected when an aircraft takes off, which he says provides a vertical profile. His experts looked at this data and compared it to that of the Lion Air crash in October, which involved the same type of craft, and found similarities that “exceed a certain threshold in our minds” with the possibilities of what happened in Ethiopia.
