Ethiopian Airlines receives four-star rating at APEX Passenger Choice Awards

These awards undergo independent verification by an external auditing company. In 2025, only the top 40 airlines globally received Five Star status—less than 7% of all rated airlines—while Four Star was limited to the next 50 airlines worldwide, representing just 8%. Ethiopian Airlines’ placement in this group signals its standing among leading global carriers.

Ethiopian Airlines is one of Africa’s largest and fastest-growing airline brands. With nearly eight decades of operations, it serves both passenger and cargo networks across five continents and operates a modern fleet that includes Boeing and Airbus aircraft models. The airline pursues a multi-hub strategy with partnerships in Togo (ASKY), Malawi (Malawi Airlines), and Zambia (Zambia Airways). After achieving its Vision 2025 plan ahead of schedule, Ethiopian is now working toward Vision 2035 with aims to become one of the world’s top aviation groups.

The carrier has also been awarded Skytrax’s Best Airline in Africa Award for seven consecutive years and is a member of Star Alliance since 2011.
