Ethiopian Airlines partnered with Boeing and three non-profit organizations to deliver 6.5 tons of humanitarian aids for St. Paul’s Hospital and Bihar Dar University College of Medicine & Health Sciences. Ethiopian and Boeing have synergized with Conscience International (CI), Horn of Africa Neonatal Development Services and Seattle Alliance Outreach (SAO) organizations for the deliveries. “For us, fulfilling our corporate social responsibilities is as important as our focus on pure business performance,” said Mr. Tewolde GebreMariam, Group CEO Ethiopian Airlines. As a responsible corporate citizen, Ethiopian will continue to contribute on the socio-economic development of the country by relentlessly delivering on its corporate social responsibilities,” he said. Currently, Ethiopian has 18 B787 in operation, deployed on its long haul passenger routes, and will receive the 19th by the end of this month, ferrying medical equipment and supplies for St. Paul’s Hospital.
