Ethiopian Airlines has announced the arrival of Africa's first Airbus A350-1000 aircraft. The event was marked by a ceremony attended by government officials, ambassadors, diplomats, and representatives from Airbus and Thales.

The new aircraft landed at Addis Ababa Bole International Airport and was greeted with a water cannon salute. It also brought medical supplies valued at over 100,000 Euros, donated to the Ethiopian Airlines Foundation by Aviation Sans Frontières in collaboration with Airbus.

After arriving from Toulouse, France, the celebrations included a demonstration flight showcasing the aircraft’s capabilities. Guests were able to view the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam during this flight.

Ethiopian Airlines Group CEO Mr. Mesfin Tasew stated, “We are thrilled to welcome the Airbus A350-1000 to our fleet, solidifying our position as leaders in aviation technology." He highlighted its passenger comfort, fuel efficiency, and reduced environmental impact as key features.

This aircraft is equipped with Thales's AVANT Up inflight entertainment system and HBC+ connectivity system. It offers spacious seating and large screens for travelers along with direct aisle access for all business class seats.

The A350-1000 features innovative aerodynamics and a carbon-fiber fuselage powered by Rolls-Royce Trent XWB engines. This addition marks an important step for Ethiopian Airlines' Vision 2035 plan.

Ethiopian Airlines plans to add three more A350-1000s soon to enhance its fleet further.
