It was in June this year that Ethiopian celebrated the 100th aircraft into their fleet and over the following months were a further 8 aircraft delivered.
Notably has the airline also expanded on the African partnership front with Ghana being the latest country to invite Ethiopian Airlines to partner their planned national airline, adding to a growing network of such partnerships in Western, Southern and Central Africa.
Next on the horizon will be the launch flight to and from Manchester, which will become Ethiopian Airlines’ second destination in the UK.
