About Ethiopian Airlines
Ethiopian Airlines, one of the largest and fastest growing
airlines in Africa, made its maiden flight to Cairo in
1946. With the recent addition of flight services to
Mombasa and Monrovia, Ethiopian provides dependable
services to 35 cities in Africa and a total of 56
international destinations spanning throughout four
continents.
In the last 65 years in service, the Ethiopian airline
experienced only two incidents. In 1996, the airline's
planes crashed was when a Boeing 767 ran out of fuel
after being hijacked while flying from Ethiopia's
capital, Addis Ababa, to Nairobi in Kenya. In 1988, an
Ethiopian Airlines 737 struck a flock of pigeon bird
after take-off in Bahar Dar, Ethiopia.
Ethiopian won the NEPAD Transport Infrastructure
Excellence Awards 2009 on November 25, 2009 and “Airline
of the year award” from the African Airlines Association
(AFRAA) on November 24, 2009, bringing the total Awards
honored since January 2009 to five. Ethiopian Airlines
Wins the 2009 Airline of the Year Award
In August, 2008, Ethiopian won “the 2008 Corporate
Achievement Award” of Aviation & Allied Business for
setting the pace towards the development and growth of
the African aviation industry.
Ethiopian is also the first African carrier to win the
2008 Brussels Airport Company Award in recognition of
its distinguished long haul operations witnessed through
the introduction of new routes, new products, and close
cooperation with Brussels Airport in marketing
activities.
Ethiopian was the winner of the ‘2008 Best Airline in
Africa Award’ at the African Travel Award ceremony in
Lagos, Nigeria, for its excellent network and convenient
connections in Africa.
Ethiopian Airlines is one of the largest airlines in
Africa, as winner of the 2007 African Business of the
Year and Best African Airline Award for 2006 service and
quality are superior when flying Ethiopian Airlines.
The Ethiopian airline uses Boeing aircraft including
767-300ERs, 757-200s (including extended range variant),
Boeing
737-700s
and
earlier in January the airlines ordered to buy 10 of the
new 737-800 model at a cost of about $750m.
It is also the first African airline to order the 787
