Africa’s aviation record has never been great; however, Ethiopia is an exception. Having acquired the airplane around November, it had undergone check by the Ethiopian Airlines before been allowed to fly. Specialists from Boeing are standing by for a worldwide examination concerning an accident that included travelers from somewhere around 32 nations.
