Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 was a scheduled international passenger flight from Bole International Airport in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi, Kenya. On 10 March 2019, the Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft which operated the flight crashed near the town of Bishoftu six minutes after takeoff, killing all 157 people aboard.
Flight 302 is Ethiopian Airlines's deadliest accident to date, surpassing the fatal hijacking of Flight 961 resulting in a crash near the Comoros in 1996.[2][3] It is also the deadliest aircraft accident to occur in Ethiopia, surpassing the crash of an Ethiopian Air Force Antonov An-26 in 1982, which killed 73.[4]
This was the second MAX 8 accident in less than five months after the crash of Lion Air Flight 610.[2][5][6][7] The crashes prompted a two-year worldwide long term grounding of the jet and an investigation into how the aircraft was approved for passenger service.
It is one of the two ill-fated flights known as the "UN Shuttle" (alongside Swissair Flight 111) because of its popularity with United Nations officials traveling between the organization's two biggest centers. In the case of Flight 302 the route was very popular as a conveyance between African Union headquarters and UN regional offices in Addis Ababa and Nairobi.
