At this week's Paris Air Show, Ethiopian Airlines and Boeing announced a commitment to purchase two B777 freighters, valued at USD 651.4 million at list prices. The airline also announced an order for ten additional B737 MAX 8 airplanes, exercising options from its 2014 order, which was the largest for the aircraft type in Africa. Ethiopian now has firm orders for 30 B737 MAX 8s.
Africa's largest airline group has also placed an order for ten additional Airbus A350-900 aircraft, to further develop its fast expanding long-haul route network. Last June, the company became the first African carrier to operate the A350 when it took delivery of the first of twelve aircraft in order. The carrier currently operates a fleet of four A350s, two of which are leased. (ah)
