YES WE CAN AND YES THEY DO AS ETHIOPIAN PREPARES FOR SPECIAL FLIGHT TO OSLO
(Posted 07th March 2019)
Ethiopian Airlines, Africa’s largest airline group and SKYTRAX Certified Four Star Global Airline, is pleased to announce that it has finalised all preparations to once again celebrate International Women’s Day by operating an all-women functioned flight; this time on the Addis Ababa – Stockholm – Oslo route, tomorrow the 08th of March 2019.
The all-women functioned flight will operate from the African continent, to meet with their counterparts in Europe, showing the power of women to the world.
The historical flight will be entirely operated by Ethiopian Airlines’ professional women, from flight deck all the way to the ground including airport operations, flight dispatch, load control, ramp operation, on-board logistics, safety and security, catering, as well as air traffic control.
Group Chief Executive Officer of Ethiopian Airlines, Mr. Tewolde Gebremariam, remarked, “We are immensely honoured that we have women trailblazers in every aspect of our aviation field. Women have been an integral part of our success story from the start, and with this dedicated flight, we honour and celebrate their indispensable contribution to our aviation group, the broader aviation industry, our country, and the continent at large.
Although women are one of Africa’s greatest resources, gender inequality still persisits on our continent. Therefore, we all need to ensure that women take their rightful position in all endeavours by creating the right conditions and opportunities.”
Ethiopian Airlines operates five weekly flights to Oslo, Norway via Stockholm with an ultra-modern Boeing B787 Dreamliner.
Ethiopian Airlines has also operated four flights to Bankok, Kigali, Lagos, and Buenos Aires, which were operated by women aviation professionals.
