Ethiopian Airlines recently placed the largest single Boeing order by number of airlines from an African carrier. The airline plans to expand its fleet with an order for 20 of the fuel-efficient Boeing 737 MAX 8s and options and purchase rights for an additional 15 aircraft.
“Today’s order underlines our commitment to our 15-year strategic plan, ‘Vision 2025’, in which Ethiopian will strive to become the leading airline group in Africa carrying 18 million passengers per annum,” said Tewolde Gebremariam, CEO, Ethiopian Airlines, during a visit to the Association for the Promotion of Tourism to Africa National Forum in Chicago. “The 737 MAX will form a key component of that strategic vision, enhancing our single-aisle fleet and keeping us at the forefront of African aviation.”
Ethiopian currently serves more than 83 destinations across five continents from its base at Bole International Airport in the Ethiopian capital of Addis Ababa with a current fleet of more than 50 Boeing airplanes.
