Boeing revealed today that an order from an unidentified customer for ten 737-800 aircraft was from Ethiopian Airlines. Worth $767 million at list prices, the order will more than double the number of 737s that Ethiopian Airlines operates.
Since its inception, Ethiopian Airlines has flown Boeing aircraft exclusively, and was the first African airline to order the 787 in 2005, as well as the first African airline to operate the 777-200LR in 2009.
