Profile: Mesfin Tasew, the 'Quiet Guardian' Steering Ethiopian Airlines' Ambitious Expansion
Mesfin Tasew, the CEO of Ethiopian Airlines, is leading Africa's largest carrier with a quiet and discreet style, marking a contrast to his predecessor. A 40-year veteran of the company, the engineer is tasked with implementing the ambitious 'Vision 2035' strategy. This plan aims to more than double the airline's fleet to 271 aircraft and significantly increase passenger and cargo traffic. Tasew must navigate numerous challenges, including intense competition from Middle Eastern carriers, regional instability, and domestic economic pressures. Despite these obstacles, the state-owned airline continues to be a benchmark for success and profitability on the continent.
