Ethiopian Airlines has one of best safety ratings in Africa
Eyewitness
accounts say the plane skidded off the runway in the process of landing at
about 10:00 am local time on Saturday.
All three crew
members said to have been on board cargo plane flight no. ETEQV survived
the incident and are currently receiving treatment at the 37 Military Hospital
in Accra.
Bad weather is
thought to have contributed to the crash landing incident although Ghanaian
authorities have not confirmed this.
Ethiopian
Airlines is top rated in Africa and has one of the continent’s best airline
accident records. As of January 2014, the Aviation Safety Network has recorded
60 accidents/incidents totalling 322 fatalities since 1965.
This incident has
prompted members of the public to begin asking questions on safety standards at
the Kotoka International Airport. In 2012, a Nigerian Cargo plane skidded off
the tarmac and run into a passenger vehicle killing about ten passengers.
