Despite facing its biggest crisis in years, Ethiopian Airlines’ chief executive says the company remains committed to its pan-African expansion plans including striking more partnerships across the continent. He spoke about the plans for privatization both to Quartz Africa and on a panel at the Africa CEO Forum in the Rwandan capital, Kigali.

In many ways, Ethiopian Airlines isn’t waiting for this dream to materialize; it’s actively taking part in creating it.
