Ethiopian Airlines has signed a purchase agreement for two new Twin Otter Classic 300-G aircraft. This acquisition marks the introduction of the 300-G into Ethiopian Airlines' fleet and underscores the carrier's commitment to connecting communities across diverse and remote regions of Ethiopia and East Africa.
The aircraft, which will be delivered in amphibious gear will be deployed to strengthen Ethiopian Airlines' domestic and regional network, enabling the airline to access underserved airstrips and remote locations.
“The addition of the Twin Otter 300-G to our fleet reflects our strategy to expand domestic connectivity and support socio-economic growth in Ethiopia and across Africa,” said Ethiopian Airlines Group CEO Mesfin Tasew. “We selected the 300-G for its proven performance in difficult environments and its modern enhancements that align with our operational and sustainability goals. The aircraft will be configured with additional equipment for multi-function missions including air ambulance, airport calibration and charter services.”
