Ethiopian have an excellent engineering, operational and safety record stretching back to 1948 and anybody refusing a ticket on them for supposed safety reasons is making a big mistake. They are probably the best operator in Africa,- and that includes SAA. Landings into Nairobi by all airlines are often fast as required by its altitude and , often, temperatures so nothing to worry about on that score. It is also not a place for elegant landings if it is desired to exit the runway via the last turnoff onto the taxiway rather than continue to the end , turn around and backtrack which costs time and may inconvenience following traffic.
