An Ethiopian Airlines plane on Tuesday made an emergency landing in Diass, Senegal, after developing technical issue.
"Ethiopian Airlines B767-300 aircraft with registration number ET-AMG and flight number ET908 on a regular scheduled service from Diass, Senegal en-route to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia via Bamako, Mali on 8 October 2019 returned from flight to the same airport (Diass, Senegal) due to a technical problem," read a statement released by the airline.
