Ethiopian Airlines History

Ethiopian Airlines (IATA code ET) is one of Africa's most progressive carriers, and a launch customer for the new Boeing 787 Dreamliner.

The airline serves 42 international and 22 domestic destinations from its base in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Established 60-years ago, Ethiopian Airlines built its operation on a strong pan-African network - now the most comprehensive on the African continent - before expanding to 10 cities in the Asian, Gulf and Middle East regions, six European destinations and Washington DC.

From Australia, the airline's closest gateways are Bangkok, with daily flights to Addis Ababa, and Hong Kong, with four weekly flights to Addis Ababa, via Bangkok. All of these flights connect with onward services throughout Africa.
