I stand in awe of the magnificent size of Ethiopian Airlines having more aircraft in it's fleet than Swiss Air, Air Austria, Air Belgium and even Air Portugal. In addition Ethiopian Airlines is developing a $5 billion new airport with capacity to host 100 million passengers per annum making it bigger than Dubai international airport and second only to Istanbul. It doesn't matter whether Ethiopia or Kenya is the fastest growing economy in Eastern Africa it matters that the African success story is repeated all over the continent. Thank you very much and have a great afternoon 🤗🤗

Ethiopian Airlines have totally cornered the aviation industry in the whole of Africa! Their unrivaled expertise is second to none on the continent! They have managed to avoid the corruption and ineptitude that have killed off other African airlines! They are indeed the model airline for every start-up in the developing world!

[@jacksonm.6549]

As a South African, I have to agree with you. So much meddling from our government has damaged our national airline beyond belief! South African Airways has been operating at a loss for so long, and the flight experience and food quality was at a coin's toss. You never know from one flight to the next, what you're going to get. Many South Africans prefer using Ethiopian for African travels.

American, European and Middle East business people and economists regularly discuss how challenging it is for airlines to operate highly profitable businesses even when they have large capital reserves. Ethiopian airlines is flying a newer fleet, growing and maintaining it's market presence ... The executive of this establishment are highly skilled. P.S. It would have been valuable to hear a review of the traditional food from a national/local traveler. My first experience with wasabi ended in similar faces to Sam's as he tried the traditional food but now I'm slightly addicted to pickled ginger and wasabi.
