The airline has announced changes in its winter schedule due to the recent outbreak of Ebola. The changes include a reduction in its services from Addis Ababa to three of its Asian destinations.
The airline has placed an order for 20 737 MAX 8s with options and purchase rights for a further 15 aircraft. It is the largest single Boeing order by number of aircraft from an African carrier and was previously unidentified in the Boeing order backlog as being placed by an unidentified customer.
The Spanish capital city will be linked to its Addis Ababa Bole International Airport hub through Rome using a Boeing 767-300ER and will increase Ethiopian’s international network to 83 destinations covering five continents.
