Commenting on the award, Ethiopian Airlines Group CEO Mr. Tewolde Gebremariam said, “We are happy to receive this award from Airline Economics. It’s for the first time that the Japanese financing system, JOLCO, financed an aircraft deal with an African airline. JOLCO availed financing for our A350 aircraft. The deal shows the strong confidence of reputed global financiers in Ethiopian balance sheet and business plan.”

It will be recalled that Ethiopian Airlines had received Middle East & Africa Airline of the Year award in 2017 by Airline Economics. Ethiopian Airlines is a multi-award winning carrier crowned with Four Star certification by SKYTRAX last year, Airline of the Year awards by AFRAA as well as multiple accolades for its outstanding passenger and cargo transport services.
