Ethiopian Airlines Orders First A350-1000 in Africa

Ethiopian Airlines (ET) ordered the first A350-1000 in Africa with an upsized order for its four A350-900 to A350-1000 aircraft – the largest variant of the A350 family. According to Airbus, Ethiopian Airlines’ backlog consists of four A350-1000s and two A350-900s.

The A350-1000 is the best fit for our dense routes, and we believe that the upsizing will be instrumental in satisfying the increasing demand of customers in our vast global network across five continents. -Mr. Mesfin Tasew, Ethiopian Group CEO.
