BA•Ethiopian Airlines will sign a deal with Boeing for 10 freighter aircraft, a banner at the signing ceremony venue showed.
1. Freighter agreement
Ethiopian Airlines will later on Wednesday sign a deal with Boeing for 10 freighter aircraft. Earlier this month, two industry sources said the airline was nearing a deal to buy up to 10 long-haul Boeing freighters.
2. Potential aircraft mix
The sources said the deal was likely to include two current-generation 777F aircraft, with the delayed 777-8F expected to make up the rest of the order. Ethiopian Airlines is helping fund a $12.5 billion plan for what officials say will be Africa’s largest airport, with phase one due to open in 2030.
