This commitment to expansion was further demonstrated by the launch of a new route to Vietnam on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>Mesfin also said the airline&#8217;s strong interest in launching flights to Australia, citing a feasibility study for this new route is currently underway.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding fleet expansion, the CEO emphasized that Ethiopian Airlines has placed orders for approximately 120 aircraft from both Boeing and Airbus, noting that the Boeing order includes the 787 aircraft and the newest model 777X.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We have also placed orders for Airbus A350 aircraft,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are currently receiving Boeing 737 MAX aircraft,\u201d Mesfin stated, confirming the delivery of two aircraft last month and will continue receiving others in accordance to the schedule.<\/p>\n<p>Ethiopian also plans to expand its regional fleet, with evaluations underway for the acquisition of additional 100-seat aircraft, and new orders anticipated soon.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond fleet expansion, Ethiopian Airlines is actively pursuing strategic partnerships. Mesfin highlighted the airline\u2019s collaborations with four foreign carriers and expressed readiness for additional joint ventures.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSeveral countries have approached us for support in establishing their own national airlines,\u201d he said. \u201cWe typically begin by conducting a feasibility study before moving forward with such partnerships.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/ethiopia\">Ethiopia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Ethiopia.
