Ethiopian, Boeing Seal Cargo Deal

May 25 , 2022

The planes have a payload capacity of 107tn.

The Ethiopian Airlines Group has ordered five Boeing 777 aircraft for cargoes.

The state carrier looks to add the aircraft to its fleet of nine 777 freighters assigned to its network of 66 cargo centres across four continents. The planes have a payload capacity of 107tn.

The agreement comes following the appointment of Mesfin Tassew as chief executive officer (CEO) of the Group two months ago. He replaced Tewolde Gebremariam, who made an “early retirement” after managing the carrier for 11 years.
