Ethiopian Airlines has taken delivery of the first of its four Airbus A350-1000s in Toulouse, France.
The first of its kind to be operated by an African-based operator, the A350-1000 will enable Ethiopian Airlines to enhance its premium service to key destinations such as Washington DC, London, Paris and Frankfurt.
To date, Ethiopian Airlines operates a fleet of 21 A350 Family aircraft.
A total of 14 additional A350 aircraft are scheduled to join the airline's fleet in the coming years, including 11 additional A350-900s and three A350-1000s.
With a total capacity of 395 seats, the A350-1000 will increase Ethiopian Airlines' seating capacity and offer an enhanced passenger experience in the largest business class cabin in the airline's fleet', says the group.
By the end of September 2024, 1,340 A350s had been ordered by 60 customers worldwide, making it one of the most successful wide-body aircraft of all time.
