Ethiopian Airlines is on the verge of announcing a substantial new aircraft order, according to CEO Mesfin Tasew Bekele. The deal, part of its 'Vision 2035' strategy, will include both widebody and narrowbody jets to significantly expand its fleet. This move aims to nearly double the airline's current fleet size to over 270 aircraft by 2035. The carrier is in the final stages of evaluation between major manufacturers, with a decision expected very soon. This impending order underscores the airline's aggressive growth plans and its position as a leading carrier in Africa.
