Even as the crash crater smoked, Africa mourned not only the dead but a symbol of the continent’s rise. Ethiopian Airlines appears determined to spread the success, reaching out to other African airlines for partnerships and investment. In its push for dominance, Ethiopian Airlines continues to open new international routes, flying to nearly 120 destinations. Ethiopian Airlines’ latest headline purchase was the Boeing 737 Max 8, the newest version of the best-selling airliner in history. Ethiopian Airlines within hours tweeted a photo of its CEO standing in the wreckage, an image shared around the world.
