Ethiopian Airliner Crashes on Way to Kenya - THISDAYLIVE via thisdaylive
An Ethiopian Airlines Boeing 737 passenger jet has crashed on a flight from Addis Ababa to Nairobi in Kenya.A spokesman said the crash happened at 08.44 local time on Sunday, shortly after take-off from the Ethiopian capital.
First word of the crash came when Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed expressed his “deepest condolences” on Twitter. In a statement, the airline said that search and rescue operations were under way near the crash site around the town of Bishoftu.“Ethiopian Airlines staff will be sent to the accident scene and will do everything possible to assist the emergency services,” the statement added.
The airline flies to many destinations in Africa, making it a popular carrier in a continent where many airlines fly only from their home country to destinations outside Africa. It has a good reputation for safety, although in 2010 one of the company’s aeroplanes crashed in the Mediterranean Sea shortly after leaving Beirut.
