Ethiopian Airlines has marked another milestone in its commitment to sustainability by taking delivery of its 20th A350-900 aircraft from Airbus. The delivery flight, which took place on April 28th, 2023, used a 30% blend of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), reducing the airline’s carbon footprint and contributing to the industry’s ambition to achieve “net zero carbon emissions by 2050” as set by IATA, ATAG, and ICAO.
The A350-900 aircraft has proven to be instrumental in Ethiopian Airlines’ fleet strategy, offering operational flexibility and efficiency, and best-in-class passenger comfort. The delivery of this A350-900 powered by SAF marks yet another milestone in the relationship between Ethiopian and Airbus, working together to reduce carbon emissions across the aviation industry.
