Ethiopian Airlines Planning Major Fleet Expansion with 100-Aircraft Order
Ethiopian Airlines is developing plans for a significant fleet expansion, with considerations for an order of approximately 100 narrow-body aircraft. The airline is currently evaluating both the Boeing 737 Max and the Airbus A320neo families for this major acquisition. This strategic move comes as the carrier navigates global challenges, including the recent surge in oil prices. The decision aims to support the airline's long-term growth and network development strategy. The expansion plans are a key part of Ethiopian's 'Vision 2035' to solidify its position as a leading global airline group.
