Lebanese air traffic control lost contract with the crashed Ethiopian Airlines Boeing 737-800 at 9,000ft following its departure from Beirut today.

The director of Lebanon's air navigation department, Khaled Chamieh, tells Air Transport Intelligence that the aircraft departed runway 21 on a service to Addis Ababa.

Weather data shows the presence of cumulonimbus clouds and thunderstorm activity, but Chamieh says that the jet climbed to 9,000ft before contact was lost.
