Group CEO Tewolde Gebremariam noted that the new destinations further enhance the leadership the airliner holds in connecting many cities in the African continent.

Ethiopian Airlines (Ethiopian) is the flag carrier of Ethiopia. During the past sixty five plus years, Ethiopian has become one of the continent’s leading carriers, unrivalled in Africa for efficiency and operational success. Its operating profit more than doubled in 2012-13 and, over the last seven years, its revenues have leapt from $390 million to over $2 billion. Against the backdrop of a strong home market—Ethiopia has posted double-digit GDP growth over the last decade, making it the third fastest growing economy in the world—Ethiopian Airlines CEO Tewolde Gebremariam has a strong, ambitious strategy to seize the market.
