Ethiopian Airlines, a remarkable tale of aviation entrepreneurship, emerged in 1945 with the vision of the Ethiopian government and the support of Western airlines. Taking off with a fleet of war-surplus Dakotas, the airline embarked on its journey to the skies, serving only domestic and regional destinations initially. However, the airline's determination and adaptability led it to overcome these challenges and expand its horizons. In 1957, Ethiopian Airlines acquired Douglas DC-6s and a Lockheed Constellation, marking the beginning of flights to Europe. The 1960s witnessed the airline's entry into the jet age with the acquisition of Boeing 720s, which were later complemented by 707s. Despite facing numerous political, economic, and social hurdles, Ethiopian Airlines remained steadfast in its commitment to growth. It expanded its operations to other African countries and further afield, solidifying its position as a powerhouse of African aviation.
However, the global pandemic has posed unprecedented challenges to the airline industry, leading to a decline in passenger transport. In response, Ethiopian Airlines has adapted and transformed itself into a vital player in the transportation of medical supplies. This remarkable transformation is showcased through over 100 images in this captivating book, which documents the enduring legacy of Ethiopian Airlines as a symbol of resilience and innovation in the aviation industry.
