(CercleFinance.com) – Boeing announces an agreement with Ethiopian Airlines allowing the East African airline to purchase eight 777-9 passenger aircraft and the possibility of acquiring up to 12 additional aircraft.
The choice of Ethiopian Airlines’ 777-9 positions the carrier as the first 777X customer in Africa and reinforces its historic 2023 order for 11 787 Dreamliner aircraft and 20 737 MAX aircraft to modernize and expand its fleet.
“Improving our operational performance and commitment to environmental sustainability, the 777-9 offers more flexibility, reduced fuel consumption and carbon emissions,” said Mesfin Tasew, Ethiopian Airlines Group Managing Director.
“We are grateful to Boeing for its long-standing partnership and support, and we look forward to flying the 777-9 in the skies of Africa and beyond,” he added.
