According to officials, 157 people from 35 different countries were killed when the plane bound for Nairobi crashed shortly after takeoff on 11 March.
A number of countries and airlines have now failed the Boeing 737 MAX 8s.
The company now has to prove that jets are safe, while faulty sensors and software contributed to the two accidents that killed 346 people in less than six months.
The United States Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has already indicated that satellite tracking data showed that the movements of flight 302 of Ethiopian Airlines were similar to those of flight 610 of Lion Air, which is was crushed in the Java Sea off Indonesia in October, killing 189 people.
The aircraft in both accidents flew with irregular altitude changes that could indicate that pilots have difficulty controlling the aircraft. Shortly after take-off, both pilots reported flight control problems and attempted to return to the airports, but crashed.
In the case of the Ethiopian Airlines flight, the black boxes were handed over to the French airline security agency BEA, which is working with American and Ethiopian investigators to determine what is wrong.
US officials said the FAA and the US security agency NTSB have not yet validated the black box data.
