Ethiopian Airlines CEO Girma Wake told reporters that the company will accept all 10 Boeing Dreamliner 787 aircraft scheduled for delivery between 2010 and 2013. The company also said that they expect passenger growth to increase and may order more planes after 2014 from Boeing or Airbus depending on who gives them the best deal. Just last week, the company announced a push for a more prominent presence in Southern Africa.
Ethiopian Airlines has seen stronger than expected results for 2008-2009 and cargo transport has emerged as an important revenue stream for the airline.
