Ethiopian Airlines Cargo Terminal, which is under construction currently, has reached 82 per cent completion and it is scheduled to be operation by April 2017, the African carrier said. The first phase of the Addis Ababa terminal cost around US$150 million, according to a report by Ethiopian News Agency. The terminal will have an capacity of 1.2 million tonnes of cargo including facilities for perishable goods. That plan includes expansion of its freighter network to eighteen aircraft serving 37 international cargo destinations by 2025. “At Ethiopian, we are very proud of the new heights Ethiopian has flown in the year,” Gebremariam said.
