Ethiopian Airlines Group CEO Tewolde Gebremariam said that "today is a very sad and tragic day for all of us."
"At this stage, we cannot determine the cause of the accident," Gebremariam said.
"It just came this morning from Johannesburg and arrived in Addis Ababa with no remark and it was dispatched with no remark," said Gebremariam.
"It was a clean airplane. It is a brand-new airplane... there is no problem on technical side," Gebremariam said. "The routine maintenance check didn't reveal any problem."
Kenyan government has formed two emergency centers to counsel those affected by the tragedy, as the East African country records highest number of causalities from the tragic incident.
Kenyan cabinet secretary for transport and infrastructure, James Macharia, said that the centers will offer privacy and information to relatives of crash victims as the government waits for the plane's manifest from the Ethiopian carrier.
"The purpose of these centers is to provide the relatives, who we call meeters and greeters, with information as much as we have and, at the same time, to provide them with an environment of privacy because until we know what has happened there will be a lot of anxiety," he told a news conference in Nairobi.
Executive Secretary of the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD), Mahboub Maalim, also said that "the whole IGAD region and the world are today mourning."
