Ethiopian inks first order for four Boeing 777Fs

Ethiopian Airlines placed a firm order for four Boeing 777 Freighters at the Dubai Airshow Tuesday. The US$1.3b deal involves a new order for two of the big cargo jets and a conversion of a commitment for another two announced in June. Schedules call for delivery in 2018 and 2019. Ethiopian Airlines group CEO Tewolde GebreMariam said that he expected growth “tailwinds” will continue for his airline. “This airplane order will provide Ethiopian’s cargo and logistics business with enhanced cargo capacity and better operating economics as we continue to build one of the largest cargo terminals in the world,” he said. Ethiopian now operates one of the largest and youngest fleets in Africa.<br/>
