As we celebrate our 70years as an Airline I need to share with you our milestones this year. Ethiopian Airline is not just the most profitable Airline in Africa but also the largest airline in Africa. So we bear the burden of having to expand the world for Africans. We were the first to open up China to Africa, We opened up Brazil in South America, Japan, Canada, Los Angeles, Washington most parts of Europe, Philipines, South Korea and now The big Apple New York. Ethiopian Airlines have made the world closer to Africa. We brought the most modern Aircraft B787 Dream-liner to Africa.
We are connecting 4 Nigerian cities to the world Lagos since 1960, Abuja since 2008,Enugu since 2013 and Kano since 2014.

Ethiopian Airlines, the fastest growing airline in Africa, has announced that it will commence scheduled thrice weekly flights to New York-Newark from Addis Ababa on 03 July 2016, via Lomé, Togo.
The airline said it will be deploying the modern Boeing 787 Dreamliner on this route, which not only offers unparalleled onboard comfort to passengers, but is also the world’s most environmeet3ntally friendly aircraft with its lower carbon and noise emission.

Ethiopian Airlines started flying to Abuja in 2008 as its second station in Nigeria with a B737 on a 3days a week schedule. Service to Abuja has grown from that to a daily service using a very modern B787 Dreamliner to serve the capital city of Nigeria. Ethiopian Airlines has served Nigeria since its independence linking African giant to the world.
As the biggest economy in Africa Nigeria deserves the very efficient and wide connections of Ethiopian Airlines.

Ethiopian Airlines has served Africa for the past 70 years. In April this year we celebrated our 70 years and that is why we invited you here today to share the joy with us.

As part of our celebrations we are giving out 50 free tickets to Nigerians in the next 70 days. 10 of thoseet4 tickets are for the media , 10 for Abuja station, 10 for Enugu ,10 for Kano and 10 for Lagos.

This is our Experience over 70 years. Ethiopian is delighted to celebrate its 70 years of dedicated and highly successful air transport services to, from and within the continent of Africa. With its strong mission of bringing Africa together and closer to the world, Ethiopian has expanded much needed air connectivity within Africa and with the rest of the world in the last 70 years.

Leading the way in the past, present and the future; Ethiopian has been an aviation technology leader in Africa and has introduced many new aircraft and systems to the continent. The result of such a long journey of dedicated service has now culminated in connecting 51 cities in Africa with the major trading centers of the world in five continents and 41 cities around the world.

Every single day, Ethiopian operates 240 flights with an efficiently designed network of connectivity thet2rough our main hub in Addis Ababa with 76 aircraft in service. Along with our Star Alliance partners, we cover the entire world. The fast, profitable and sustainable growth we have registered in the last 10 years has made us the largest, most profitable and fastest growing airline on our continent. We operate Africa’s largest cargo service, largest and most advanced Aviation Academy and best MRO services.

Group Chief Executive Officer, Tewolde Gebremariam, said “Seventy years is a long time, but Ethiopian is still young, strong, forward looking and ready to contribute its own share of an integrated, prosperous and peaceful Africa, driven by its own citizens and representing a dynamic force in the global arena in line with the African Union agenda 2063.The billions of dollars we invested in our modern fleet, aviation infrastructure, human resouet6rce development and operating systems are a testimony that shows Ethiopian is positioned in a solid foundation to scale up the growth in its Vision 2025. With the next generation advanced fleet of B-787 Dreamliners, Airbus A-350 and the B-737 MAX, we are very excited to continue to lead the 21st century aviation development in the continent of Africa.
“Ethiopian airlines employees, the management and the board of Directors have been demonstrating unique levels of dedication and commitment to their airline and this is the main success factor in the last 70 years. We take this opportunity to recognize and thank all of our employees, present and past, for their extraordinary hard work and success.
