Ethiopian has, throughout this crisis, cemented themselves as one of the world\u2019s top carriers,&#8221; said LIFT President Marc Cho. \u201cThey have demonstrated their ability to be creative and agile by focusing on the cargo segment to offset a reduction in passenger volume as a result of this pandemic,\u201d added Cho.<\/p>\n<p>Ethiopian Airlines Group CEO, Mr. Tewolde GebreMariam, said, &#8220;I would like to express my delight upon the delivery of the B737-800SF converted freighter aircraft. The delivery of the aircraft is a significant addition to our freighter capacity and frequency and will enhance our capability to serve short-haul destinations in Africa and the Middle East more economically, including the transportation of the much-needed medical supplies and vaccines. This time we are not just receiving a new aircraft; we are also showing to the world that Ethiopian stands firm through a storm and strives to widen its strength and reach corners of the world with much-needed medical supplies and vaccines to save lives.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press-Ethiopia has announced the delivery of its first 737-800SF (MSN 32903) passenger-to-freighter (\u201cP2F\u201d) conversion to Ethiopian Airlines.
