HISTORY OF ACCIDENTS
OUTLINED AT ETHIOPIAN AIRLINES..
According to the Aviation Safety Network records for Ethiopian Airlines, the airline has had 61 accidents and incidents since 1965,
plus six more for Ethiopian Air Lines, the airline's former name. As of
March 2019, these occurrences resulted in 494 deaths. On March 10, 2019, Ethiopian Airlines
Flight 302, a 4-month-old Boeing 737 MAX 8, crashed shortly after
takeoff from Addis Ababa en route to Nairobi, reportedly killing all 157
people,[262] from more than 30
different nations.[263]onboard.
Prior to the 2019 accident, a hijacking was the carrier's deadliest accident, when an
aircraft crashed into the Indian
Ocean due to fuel starvation
in 1996. The third-deadliest accident occurred in 2010, when an aircraft crashed into the
Mediterranean Sea shortly after it
departed Beirut–Rafic
Hariri International Airport, killing all 90 people on board. The crash of a Boeing
737-200 in 1988 led to 35
fatalities and ranks as the fourth most deadly accident experienced by the
company.[264][265] Despite this,
Ethiopian Airlines has a good safety reputation, in contrast to other African airlines.
