Ethiopian Airlines Group has announced its plan to further expand its global footprint by adding five new international flight destinations during the current fiscal year. Mesfin Tassew, CEO of Ethiopian Airlines Group, shared details of the airline’s strategic growth plan, aimed at increasing passenger traffic and revenue.
As a leading African aviation company, Ethiopian Airlines is committed to achieving annual revenue of 25 billion USD and transporting approximately 67 million passengers by 2035. To support these ambitious goals, the airline is investing heavily in new aircraft and broadening its international network.
Following the successful addition of five new international routes in the previous fiscal year, Ethiopian Airlines plans to introduce flights to Amsterdam, Netherlands; Monrovia, Liberia; Port Sudan, Sudan; and Dhaka, Bangladesh in the coming months. CEO Mesfin Tassew also revealed that the airline is working to establish flights to Australia within the next two years, marking Ethiopian Airlines’ expansion to every continent.
To meet the growing demand for air travel, the airline is not only purchasing new aircraft but also exploring leasing options to enhance its fleet and provide comfortable, reliable services to passengers. Ethiopian Airlines currently operates a fleet of 147 aircraft and serves 139 international and 22 domestic destinations.
