Even after facing the incident of crash on 25 January 2010, the airline owner, which is the Ethiopian government, has stuck to its optimistic attitude of recovering and gaining their reputation as it did after the hijack incident in 1996. Passengers on the flight Boeing 737-800 bore citizenship of the countries like Turkey, France, Russia, Canada, Syria and Iraq. The reason that has been claimed behind this accidental crash is the bad weather condition of rainstorm. Claims of losses faced by passengers who were there on the flight are expected to be duly paid by the Ethiopian government.
