Regarding the awards, Group Chief Executive Officer of Ethiopian Airlines, Mr. Tewolde GebreMariam, remarked, “We are honoured to have received the ‘African Cargo Airline of the

Year’ and ‘Air Cargo Brand of the Year in Africa’ awards. They are testimony to the leading role

Ethiopian Airlines is playing in air cargo service in Africa.

In line with our vision for the year 2025, we have been investing heavily in expanding our cargo services, building the largest trans-shipment terminal in Africa with an annual capacity of about one million tons, and deploying 9 dedicated freighters. Our cargo services today span across 44 international destinations in Africa, the Gulf, Middle East, Asia, the Americas and Europe, augmenting the export of perishables from Africa and import of high value goods.

I’d like to extend my gratitude to Air Cargo Africa for recognising our efforts with these awards, and I’d like to congratulate my 16,000 plus colleagues at Ethiopian Airlines on the success they achieved through their dedication and hard work.”

By 2025, Ethiopian Cargo & Logistics Services envisions becoming a fully-fledged profit

centre of Ethiopian Airlines Group with annual revenue of US$2 Billion, 19 dedicated

aircrafts, annual tonnage of 820,000, and 57 international destinations.
