Ethiopian Airlines (ET, Addis Ababa International) has converted options for six B787-9s into firm orders with Boeing, finalising commitments first announced in 2023.
In a joint statement, the parties said the additional widebodies will be used to expand the airline's intercontinental network from Addis Ababa International and increase cargo capacity in response to growing long-haul demand.
Ethiopian Airlines already operates Africa’s largest B787 fleet, including both -8 and -9 variants, deployed on routes to Europe, Asia, North America, and within Africa. Group CEO Mesfin Tasew said the order supports the carrier’s long-term growth and fleet modernisation strategy.
"The order shows Ethiopian Airlines' sustainable growth and preparation for further achievements. By growing our fleet size with ultra-modern airplanes such as the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, we are further maintaining operational excellence and passengers' comfort," he said.
Boeing noted that the B787 will continue to form the "backbone" of Ethiopian’s widebody operations as it develops new routes and increases capacity.
"We're proud that Ethiopian Airlines continues to look to the 787 Dreamliner to serve as the backbone of their fleet as they grow and modernise their operations, open new routes, and comfortably serve more passengers," said Anbessie Yitbarek, Boeing's vice president of commercial sales for Africa.
According to ch-aviation data, Ethiopian Airlines currently operates a widebody fleet of ten B787-9s plus twenty B787-8s. In January, the airline announced an order for nine more B787-9s, expanding its order book for the type to 20 aircraft.
It also awaits delivery of eight B777-9s, while already operating five B777-300ERs, six B777-200LRs, and twelve B777-200F freighters. Of the B767 variant, Ethiopian operates two B767-300ER(BDSF) and two B767-300F cargo planes.
In addition, the airline operates four A350-1000s and twenty-two A350-900s, with 17 more of the latter on order.
