CAIRO, April 8, 2024

Ethiopian Airlines Group, Africa's largest airline group, marked its 78th anniversary by flying to Cairo – the first international route it operated on April 8, 1946.

Group Chief Executive Officer Mesfin Tassew and Chief Commercial Officer Lemma Yadecha accompanied the crew on the anniversary flight on Wednesday (April 8) to Cairo, during which they provided assistance to passengers during check-in and boarding processes, ensuring a seamless travel experience, besides their in-flight duties.

Tasew said: “This event symbolises our unwavering commitment to our passengers and our belief that true leadership lies in serving others first. Serving our passengers on this special flight to Cairo is not just a tribute to our first international service but a reaffirmation of our commitment to the ethos of servant leadership.

“From our humble beginning back in 1946, we’ve come to be the aviation giant in Africa that we are now, pioneering the African aviation with many first aviation innovation introductions to Africa along the way. As we are maturing beautifully, our commitment only gets stronger.”

In line with Ethiopian's values of community engagement, passengers received seasons greeting packages and ‘Happy Fasting’ messages. The packages included a postcard commemorating the anniversary, serving as a tangible reminder of the airline's enduring legacy.

The airlines has offered complimentary Wi-Fi service to Cairo-bound travellers, as part of its initiatives to enhance passenger experience.

“Our mission extends beyond transportation,” said Yadecha.

“We strive to foster a sense of unity and belongingness among our passengers, regardless of their background or belief.

“This anniversary is a celebration of unity and diversity. By stepping into the roles of our dedicated ground and flight crew, we honour every individual who has been part of our story. Our service today is a promise of continued service excellence for all our passengers.” – TradeArabia News Service
