Ethiopian Airlines crash leaves ‘no survivors’
An Ethiopian Airlines jet crashed six minutes after it took off from Addis Ababa leaving no survivors. The airline said that all 157 souls were lost in the crash of flight ET302 that was heading to Nairobi. It said 32 Kenyans, 18 Canadians, eight Americans and seven British nationals were among the passengers. The cause of the disaster is still unknown and the airline confirmed that investigation is still ongoing. The pilot had reported difficulties and requested to return to the airport. The plane reported that its vertical speed was unstable after take off. The plane crashed near Bishoftu. Immediately, recovery operations were underway near the crash site. However, witnesses at the scene claimed that the aircraft was in an intense fire as it hit the ground. "At this stage, we cannot rule out anything," Ethiopian Airlines CEO Tewolde Gebremariam told reporters at Bole International Airport in Addis Ababa. "We cannot also attribute the cause to anything because we will have to comply with the international regulation to wait for the investigation." Important victims The airlines confirmed that victims included 32 Kenyans, 18 Canadians, nine Ethiopians, eight Italians, eight Chinese, eight Americans, seven Britons, seven French citizens, six Egyptians, five Germans, four Indians and four people from Slovakia. Three Austrians, three Swedes, three Russians, two Moroccans, two Spaniards, two Poles and two Israelis were also on the flight. There was also one passenger each from Ireland, Nepal, Saudi Arabia, Djibouti, Belgium, Indonesia, Somalia, Norway, Serbia, Togo, Mozambique, Rwanda, Sudan, Uganda and Yemen. Slovak MP Anton Hrnko later confirmed via Facebook that his wife and two children were on the plane. https://twitter.com/antonioguterres/status/1104795274709528577?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1104795274709528577&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bbc.com%2Fnews%2Fworld-africa-47513508 A UN source also told Agence France-Presse that "at least a dozen of the victims were affiliated with the UN", and that this may include freelance translators. The passengers were headed to a session of the UN Environment Assembly which begins in Nairobi on Monday. https://twitter.com/WFPChief/status/1104778794710298624?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1104778794710298624&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bbc.com%2Fnews%2Fworld-africa-47513508 World Food Programme executive director David Beasley said seven members of agency staff had died in the crash. Among them was engineer Michael Ryan, who was doing life-changing work in Africa". The pilot was named as Senior Captain Yared Getachew who had a "commendable performance" with more than 8,000 hours in the air, the airline said. Boeing 737 Max-8 The same plane model was involved in a crash less than five months ago when Lion Air plummeted in the sea in Indonesia with nearly 190 souls on board. On 29 October 2018, Lion Air Flight 610, Boeing 737 MAX 8 registration PK-LQP, crashed into the Java Sea 13 minutes after take-off from Soekarno–Hatta International Airport, Jakarta, Indonesia. The aircraft was delivered to Lion Air two months prior. In the case of Ethiopian Airlines, the aircraft is only four months old. This reignited the speculations that the airplane model could be at fault. Following the Lion Air accident, Boeing issued an operational manual guidance, advising airlines on how to address erroneous cockpit readings. The 737 MAX's Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS) has come under scrutiny for faulty angle-of-attack readings in these two crashes.

With this alliance, the African airline will have access to the Spanish company's extensive network of travel agents, OTAs, aggregators and consolidators in more than 60 countries through its IATA Q4-291 plate. With 78 years of experience, Ethiopian is now the leading Aviation Group in Africa.

Emirates reveals its ‘vegan vault’ of 300 recipes as demand for plant-based cuisine increases by 40%
As global interest peaks in Veganuary - an initiative that has highlighted the benefits of a vegan diet for the last decade, Emirates has noted a surge of 40% in customer demand for plant-based meals. To meet this demand in 2024, Emirates will introduce an array of new vegan dishes onboard and in lounges later this year, adding even more dishes to its ‘vegan vault’ of more than 300 curated plant-based recipes. Emirates vegan meals: Bitesize Breakdown In 2023, Emirates has more than 300 vegan recipes in rotation across 140 destinations, up from 180 recipes in 2022. In 2023, Emirates served more than 450,000 plant-based meals onboard, an increase from 280,000 plant-based meals served in 2022. Vegan meal consumption has grown 40% year on year in line with passenger volumes, but in some regions, consumption has exceeded passenger volume growth - such as Africa with an additional 4% increase, Southeast Asia with an additional 5% increase, and the Middle East showing a significant additional increase of 34%. The biggest increase in consumption of vegan meals occurred in Economy Class. Significant increases were noted specifically on Emirates routes to China, Japan and Philippines. Many Emirates Cabin Crew are also embracing a plant-based diet, as Emirates introduced vegan meals for Cabin Crew in 2018. Emirates vegan cuisine in every class In Economy class, Emirates customers can enjoy moreish dishes like chickpea crepe stuffed with carrot, peppers, mushroom and tomato concasse, experience a textured pumpkin frittata, tuck into a tofu tikka masala or enjoy a hearty chickpea kale stew with parsley pilaf rice and baby spinach. Scrumptious vegan desserts in Economy include a coconut mousse with mango compote, moist banana cake with chocolate crumble or luscious chocolate pudding with cocoa soil. In Premium Economy class, customers choosing vegan cuisine will be served nutritiously delicious dishes like jackfruit curry with basmati rice, or a rich squash chestnut stew followed by a light chocolate tofu cheesecake or a smooth and satisfying raspberry parfait with a pop of orange compote. In Business class, a range of elegant and creatively curated dishes are offered including roasted cauliflower with ancient grains, caramelised pear and lovage pesto or a warming ragout of Asian tofu and shitake mushroom with glass noodles. Customers who have room for dessert can feast on a tropical coconut pineapple cake or indulge in a chocolate cheesecake accented by a dark chocolate cigar and strawberry compote. In First class, customers will be treated to exceptionally elevated vegan cuisine like creamy polenta cake with thyme mushroom ragout, sautéed spinach drizzled in a rich root vegetable jus. Dishes offering a burst of sophisticated flavours include aubergine curry with charred rice and turmeric potato, with a dash of coconut and mint chutney. Decadent desserts feature curated contrasts including the tartness of rhubarb tempered with strawberry charlotte, Chantilly cream and raspberry tuille, or a tempting warm chocolate fondant, dashed with salted caramel sauce and whipped cashew cream. Later in the year, Emirates will be launching a selection of new vegan main courses, new vegan snacks such as fruit muffins and vegan pizza, and an array of delectable desserts including chocolate pecan cake, pistachio raspberry and raspberry tonka cake. Vegan options are available to pre-order onboard and order directly in First Class, as well as in Emirates Lounges. Customers can request vegan meals on all Emirates flights and across all classes of travel up to 24 hours before departure. The best vegan ingredients from around the world Emirates continues to elevate cuisine in the sky, with high quality products sourced from every corner of the globe. Some of the products used are plant-based proteins from California’s Beyond Meat, soybean protein from Singapore and UAE-based Arlene, Qian Ye pressed tofu from Japan, organic dark vegan chocolate from Linnolat in France, vegan margarine from MeisterMarken in Germany, vegan curry paste from Pantai in Thailand, Koita almond milk from Italy, amongst many others. Emirates also incorporates fresh locally grown kale and lettuce from Bustanica - the world’s largest hydroponic vertical farm, a joint venture investment through Emirates Flight Catering. The Bustanica produce is grown without pesticides, herbicides, or chemicals and First and Business Class passengers can enjoy farm fresh leafy greens in some dishes, including lettuces, arugula, mixed salad greens, and spinach. History of vegan cuisine and Emirates Emirates has been serving vegan meals since the 1990’s. Initially, vegan requirements were focused on specific routes such as Addis Ababa where vegan meals are required during certain times of the year by those practising the Ethiopian Orthodox faith, or across regions where multiple faiths encourage a plant-based diet. Over recent years however, vegan dishes have been rapidly gaining popularity on US, Australian, some European and Asian routes, with Emirates noting a sizeable increase in interest in vegan dishes over the last decade. A brand-new gourmet vegan menu was introduced in 2022 to First and Business Class to offer even more choices to Emirates customers following a vegan lifestyle, or simply looking for a healthy and light meal choice while travelling.
