afrol News, 29 January - Ethiopian Airlines has had another hit when its Boeing 757 with 150 passenger made an emergecny landing in Chad yesterday.

The plane which was flying to Addis Ababa from Dakar, Senegal via Bamako, Mali, reportedly had to make an emergency landing for what has reported as a radar problem.

However, the Airline's officials have said the landing in Ndjamena was made as an extra precaution and once on the ground nothing serious was established. The plane is said to have taken-off today after checks even though some of the passenger are reported to have refused to re-board, claiming the same plane had earlier had electrical problems.

The emergency landing in Chad follows just last week's crash of another Ethiopian Airline's plane into the Mediterranean killing all the 90 passengers on board.

The plane had just taken-off from Beruit, and the accident which is still being investigated, is believed to have been caused by poor communication between the flight Captain and airport officials in Beruit.
