A preliminary report on the crash of an Ethiopian Airlines plane last month indicates that the plane had a picnic several times before crashing.

The pilots have repeatedly "followed" the procedures recommended by Boeing before the accident, according to the first official report on the disaster.

Despite their efforts, the pilots "have not been able to control the plane," said Transportation Minister Dagmawit Moges.

Flight ET302 crashed after takeoff from Addis Ababa, killing 157 people.

This was the second crash of a Boeing 737 Max in five months.

Last October, Lion Air flight JT 610 crashed into the sea near Indonesia, killing 189 people.

"The crew has performed all the procedures over and over [that were] provided by the manufacturer but were not able to control the aircraft, "said Moges at a press conference in Addis Ababa.

In a statement, Ethiopian Airlines general manager Tewolde GebreMariam said he was "very proud" of the "high level of professional performance" of the pilots.

"It was very unfortunate that they could not recover the plane from the persistence of the nose dive in the water," the airline said in a statement.
