Ethiopian Airlines Voted Best in Africa by Premier Traveller

Ethiopian Airlines

Ethiopian Airlines  has been recognised as “Best Airline to Africa” by one of the most prominent travel magazines in the United States, Premier Traveller, at a ceremony held recently in Los Angeles, California.

Commenting on the award, CEO of Ethiopian Airlines Group, Tewolde Gebremariam, said, "We are honoured that Premier Traveller Magazine’s readers in the US have selected us as the best airline for travel to Africa. I wish to thank them for this vote of confidence, which once again reaffirms the quality of the service and product we offer. We currently offer the best connectivity options for the travelling public between Africa and the US, thanks to our daily flights from Washington D.C. using the ultra-modern B777s and B787s, and our extensive African network covering 49 destinations with daily and more flights.

Gebremariam said in June 2015, the airline would further cement its position as the airline of choice for travel between Africa and the US by adding Los Angeles as our second point in the U.S. Our flights connecting Addis Ababa, Dublin and Los Angeles will be operated with the B787s, which offers unmatched on-board comfort, and will be the only direct service connecting Africa with Ireland and the West Coast of the United States."

In August 2014 Ethiopian received the Best Airline in Africa award by Passenger Choice Awards, the most extensive survey of passengers in the industry. The African Airlines Association (AFRAA) also named Ethiopian African Airline of the Year at its 46th Annual General Assembly held in Algiers in November 2014.
Ethiopian is a Pan-African global carrier operating the youngest fleet in the continent with an average of less than 7 years and currently serving 84 international destinations across 5 continents with over 200 daily departures.
