Ethiopian Airlines (ET) has ordered nine Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft from the US manufacturer as it moves to scale up operations amid rising demand on its long-haul international routes.
The order, finalised in December, comes just weeks after the Ethiopian flag carrier placed an order for 11 smaller Boeing 737-8 aircraft and six Airbus A350-900 wide-body jets, part of an aggressive fleet expansion and renewal drive.
