The Ethiopian Airlines Group (EAG) has launched a new business jet for premium charter services, pledging to enhance luxury travel options. A partnership with Etihad Airways promises improved connectivity between Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. The Airline has introduced a Boeing 737-800 business jet, catering to VIP and small-group travel. The aircraft provides a luxurious cabin with customizable seating — 19 for commercial and 32 for private use — offering an elite travel experience. Passengers can enjoy a 42-inch entertainment system, Wi-Fi, and gourmet dining. The jet service targets Africa’s business leaders, diplomats, and investors with an extended range. “This addition takes our charter services to the next level," said Mesfin Tasew, CEO of Ethiopian Airlines, "offering luxury, privacy, and convenience.” Reaching over 160 destinations and pursuing its ‘Vision 2035’ strategy, Ethiopian Airlines remains one of the few major airlines in the African aviation industry. It has secured Skytrax’s ‘Best Airline in Africa’ award for seven consecutive years. Ethiopian Airlines and Etihad Airways have also established a joint business agreement pledging to improve travel options, partnering to introduce new flights between Addis Abeba and Abu Dhabi and a codeshare agreement. Etihad Airways will commence daily flights to Addis Abeba on October 1, 2025, while Ethiopian Airlines will begin flights to Abu Dhabi on July 15.
