Group CEO Mesfin Tasew says the airline will begin receiving the 26 787s in 2028 and plans to deploy them on mature routes in Africa requiring larger aircraft and new destinations such as Australia.

The four-runway facility will have an initial capacity of 60-million passengers a year, expanding to 110-million at full capacity, and will berth 270 aircraft. The African Development Bank is lending $500-million and leading efforts to raise $8.7-billion, while the State-owned airline is funding 30% and has allocated $610-million for earthworks.
Airline emerges as emergency air bridge during Middle East crisisEthiopian Airlines is benefiting from its role as the emergency air bridge linking Asia, Africa and Europe during the Middle East conflict, according to a report by two UN agencies, the African Union and the African Development Bank. The airline introduced Africa's first Airbus A350-1000 on an African route in February and increased its Cape Town service to double daily flights in March as passenger demand continues to rise.
