The order for eight Boeing 777X aircraft highlights Ethiopian Airlines' move to augment its fleet size and achieve cost reductions. At last year's Dubai Airshow, Ethiopian Airlines committed to 11 787 Dreamliners and 20 737 MAX jets. Post the 737 Max tragedy, Ethiopian Airlines maintains confidence in Boeing's corrective measures, affirming that design flaws have been rectified. Ethiopian Airlines is poised to make history as Africa's first carrier to order the Boeing 777X, a testament to the airline's commitment to adopting advanced aviation technologies. Operating Africa's largest Dreamliner fleet, Ethiopian Airlines currently incorporates a mix of 787-8s and 787-9s.
