Wanjohi further shared photos of Ethiopian Airlines planes at the JKIA waiting to be cleared for Addis Ababa.

“Some Ethiopian Airlines planes at JKIA, waiting for Addis weather to clear. Flights cannot land at Bole International Airport because of bad weather,” Wanjohi captioned the photos.

Addis Ababa has in the past days been experiencing extreme chilly conditions which create poor visibility for pilots in the skies.

One of the Ambassadors in Ethiopia also confirmed that the weather was chill and foggy in the morning hours.
