As a South African I am proud of what Ethiopian Airlines achieved. Our SAA airlines used to be the best in Africa and it is one of the oldest airlines in the world. Since ANC came to power they have bankrupted SAA and many state institutions. No more railways, electricity supply is random and country as a whole is being mismanaged. We almost have no hope for the future. SA had so much potential to become a world player and now our government and presidents are an embarrasment. Sam did not actually report on how Ethiopian Airlines became Africa's best airline but I am sure it is because the people in charge are honourable, and truly take pride of their country and what they have achieved. They are building their nation to be the best in Africa. If only our government can do the same and stop its corruption and selfish actions. Well done Ethiopia! Would love to visit your country and learn from you.

Despite looted by European countries Africa is rich and wealthy. God bless African people who suffered a lot in the past three hundred years by so called modern civilized West

[@dallolapp356]

To answer you question as an Ethiopian, the reason Ethiopian Airlines is successful is because even though it's state owned, the successive governments since it's foundation have left it independent. Even at the time of the communist government 40 years ago, Ethiopian Airlines was allowed to operate independently. Sadly, the new government we have is going to ruin it since just like the ANC, it's interfering with the airlines management.

[@MEZERARA]

your government is far more better than ours, ttrust me

[@wilcoxdaniel9825]

Ethiopia airlines is run like a corporation and has its own independent financial and management services. It makes an annual.profit and trains most of Africa's pilots. Zuma ruined SA... now he has ruined ANC. we need intelligence in Africa's governments.

First of all, his question is valid and reasonable. Secondly, Why are you lying? I've lived in Ethiopia for over 27 years and yes the culture is beautiful but the nation is absolutely dog shit. One of THE worst places to live and work period. Aside from problems with it's economy, education, transit and health care, there is a f**king civil war going on right now so what are you talking about? You can paint a false image all you want and I have slowly discovered that Ethiopians are extremely proud and that leads them to be liars. I've seen this with co workers, and friends and they will never admit to something being wrong in their lives or their nation because of their mind set, but you and I both know that any Ethiopian would leave Ethiopia if they could. That is a fact. Stop lying, learn to ask for help as a society and maybe your nation will survive. Side note: Emirates is a better airline. It is cheaper and it has better service. Only problem is a transit. Aside from this, it is definitely better in every way.

Most importantly In January 1935, Robinson announced his intentions to volunteer to defend Ethiopia in its ongoing conflict with Italy.

To see how Ethiopia has the most successful airlines in Africa or just to talk about why poor country in Africa has an airlines like this? The problem here the west have always undermined Africa this bullshit mental game is a way of telling us we don't have the brain capacity to achieve what they have achieved.

It was Egyptair that was leading in the region at the time, but now ET have well overpassed them. Ethiopian pilots and their academy always had a good reputation. Ethiopians themselves are a hard working nation with clever people inspite of the economic situation. Still, their GDP per capita has increased by 3 times during the last 11 years.

Nice job Sam; Ethiopian Airlines is not only the best in Africa but also among the best 30 airlines in the world as per the 2022 SKYTRAX ranking

[@fredsimchawang6327]

Ethiopian Airlines is the epitome of an African success story and testimony to the fact that Africa is not a poor continent. Ethiopian Airlines has more aircraft in it's fleet than Swiss Airlines Scandinavian Airlines Services Air Austria or Air Belgium. Yet it provides the same top notch service as Singapore Airlines. Concurrently Ethiopia has 25 mega infrastructure projects which it is rolling out as we speak. Ethiopia is the role model for many African as well as Caribbean countries that have African roots. If Ethiopia can pull this off why not also Haiti. Thank you very much and have a great afternoon 🤗🤗

[@ChrisCokeRobinson]

Because Haiti is still paying back an illegal independence fine placed on it by the French, apart from the major earthquakes, corruption, civil unrest, and that whole thing about being currently the poorest nation in the entire Western Hemisphere...Maybe for those reasons right now they cant...You speak from ignorance and with a condescending racist mindset. Ethiopia should be a role model for many Asian, European, and South American countries as well..Great afternoon to you too🤗🤗

As a Nigerian, I approve of this message. We are proud of our Ethiopian brothers. Air Rwanda is fast growing too and they are aggressive with new fleets. South African Airways and Kenyan Airways are making us proud too.
