Step inside Africa’s largest airline. In this exclusive behind-the-scenes access with Ethiopian Airlines, I go beyond the passenger experience to uncover what really happens inside an Airbus A350-1000 operation. The journey begins at the Ethiopian Airlines crew terminal, where pilots and cabin crew prepare for the flight ahead — from briefings and planning to the coordination that keeps everything running smoothly. I then joined the crew onboard A350-1000 operating a flight to Lagos, Nigeria. From ground operations to cockpit and cabin preparation, this is a rare look behind one of Africa’s most advanced long-haul operations.
