Flight ET 708 had to return to Addis Ababa after about 2 hours of flying due to a loss of pressurization. The oxygen masks were deployed. The pilot descended to a safe altitude and after some time the passengers were allowed to take off the masks. Due to bad weather the pilot had to abort his first landing attempt. After circling the airport for about an hour, the airplane landed safely.
