Ethiopian Airlines Sees 30% Rise In Passengers As Demand Grows By 8.1% For African Airlines

Ethiopia’s flag carrier, Ethiopian Airlines (ET), expects to carry up to 30% more passengers in the year ending in June compared to the previous year. The growth is primarily driven by the airline’s new routes and the rebound in global air travel. This comes as the International Air Transport Association (IATA) released its latest figures on global passenger demand, indicating an 8.1% year-on-year increase for African airlines in March 2024.
