Ethiopian Airlines

Ethiopian Airlines (Ethiopian) is the leading and most profitable airline in Africa. In 2014 IATA ranked
Ethiopian as the largest airline in Africa in revenue and profit. Over the past seven decades, Ethiopian has
been a pioneer of African aviation as an aircraft technology leader. It all started with a military surplus
C-47, leading the way with the first Jet service in the continent in the early 60’s to the first B-767 in the
mid 80’s, to the first African B-787 Dreamliner in 2012 and the first African Airbus A-350 in 2016.
Ethiopian joined Star Alliance, the world’s largest Airline network, in December 2011. Ethiopian
is currently implementing a 15-year strategic plan called Vision 2025 that will see it become the leading
airline group in Africa with seven strategic business units. Ethiopian is a multi-award winning airline,
including SKYTRAX and Passenger Choice Awards in 2015, and has been registering an average growth
of 25% per annum for the past ten years.
