Ethiopian Airlines, Africa’s largest carrier has said it has delayed the delivery of its initial ordered airplanes from Boeing and Airbus until the number of its passengers starts to pick.
The estimate of the Group shows that it may take up to one to two years for Ethiopian Airlines to boost its number of passengers as it was before COVID-19.
CEO of the Group, Ethiopian Airlines, Tewolde GebreMariam disclosed this while presenting the activities of Ethiopian Airlines to the national committee against COVID-19 led by Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed on Friday.
The airline is optimistic that it will return to its success track once the coronavirus crisis is over.
Ethiopia’s Prime Minster, Abiy Ahmed says it won’t take that long for Ethiopian Airlines to get back on track as he sees many opportunities for the national carrier.
