April 20 (Reuters) – Africa’s largest carrier Ethiopian Airlines said on Monday it is buying six additional Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner jets as it looks to expand its long-haul flights across Africa and to the United States and Asia.
Ethiopian Airlines Group CEO Mesfin Tasew told Reuters after a signing ceremony at Boeing’s headquarters it was converting six options to firm orders after previously ordering 20 new 787s, including nine in January.
