Ethiopian Airlines, the largest Airbus operator in Africa, has received its first A350-1000 aircraft from Airbus in Toulouse, France. This significant addition makes Ethiopian Airlines the first African carrier to operate this model, enhancing its premium service offerings on major routes such as Washington D.C., London, Paris and Frankfurt. Currently, Ethiopian Airlines operates a fleet of 21 A350-family aircraft, with 14 more aircraft joining the fleet in the coming years, including 11 A350-900 and three additional A350-1000 aircraft. With a total capacity of 395 seats, the A350-1000 will not only expand Ethiopian Airlines' passenger capacity but also elevate the customer experience, featuring the largest business class cabin in the airline's fleet. As with all Airbus aircraft, the A350 aircraft is already able to operate with up to 50% sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).
