An Ethiopian plane Boeing 757 with 150 passengers on board made an emergency landing in Chad on Friday. The Addis Ababa bound flight set off from the Senegalese capital Dakar via Bamako, Mali. The problem was attributed to a radar issue.

However, the Airline officials have said the landing in Ndjamena was made as an extra precaution although nothing serious has been established on the ground.

The plane is said to have taken-off on Saturday after some mechanical checks even though some of the passenger 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.
