The flight ET-700 rejected takeoff after the left engine ingested a bird. The airplane slowed safely and returned to the apron.
Since last july the local press remarked that "the collision of birds with aircraft, bird-strike accidents, during takeoffs near airports is becoming a grave concern for Ethiopian aviation authorities".
