Boeing and Ethiopian Airlines have partnered to carry humanitarian aid of over 12,000 pounds using the airline’s three recently delivered 737-8 airplanes to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The aid included medical supplies, books, and school supplies for those in need.
Mesfin Tasew, Group CEO of Ethiopian Airlines said: “Ethiopian Airlines has a long history of collaborating with Boeing on humanitarian flights. This is our 43rd humanitarian delivery with Boeing, and we are proud to partner with their team to once again bring this support home to Addis Ababa."
Cheri Carter, vice president of Boeing Global Engagement at Boeing said: “The Humanitarian Flight Program has helped thousands of people in need gain access to critical care items and humanitarian aid over the past 30 years. These flights are the latest in a long legacy of service by Ethiopian Airlines for the Ethiopian people, and we are grateful for their continued partnership."
The flights departed Boeing’s Everett and Seattle Delivery Centers on November 24, November 26, and December 4, 2022.
