As many as 16 Ethiopian Airlines have managed to illegally smuggle themselves out of Ethiopia on the carrier’s own planes. Two former Ethiopian Airlines employees told of how they fled to Brussels on December 4, 2021, after concealing themselves amongst crew baggage within the bulk cargo hold of an Ethiopian Airlines plane. Ethiopian Airlines strenuously denies the allegations. The airline has also been accused of discriminating against employees with Tigray heritage but Ethiopian Airlines says it “strongly refutes” the allegations. Ethiopian Airlines is yet to publicly comment on the latest allegations.
