Ethiopian Airlines, the flagship carrier of Ethiopia, is working to strengthen its facility and capacity to accommodate its expanding business operations through collaboration with Chinese construction companies.
The project of constructing Ethiopian Airlines Group’s future headquarters is progressing steadily, with expectations for completion in August 2026, as disclosed by the Chinese project contractor, China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation (CCECC), on Monday.
The project, which is expected to enhance the carrier’s operational capabilities and statue in the aviation industry, is located inside the premises of the Addis Ababa Bole International Airport in the Ethiopian capital.
Wang Peng, the project’s executive manager from CCECC, said the construction began in December last year, with foundation works being carried out at the moment, adding that the project has so far generated over 500 jobs for Ethiopians.
Wang stressed the Chinese contractor’s resolve for knowledge transfer and underscored the ongoing experience-sharing initiatives aimed at equipping the local workforce with the latest technologies and skills.
Ethiopian Airlines Group, Africa’s largest and fastest-growing airline, is currently implementing a 15-year strategic plan, called Vision 2035. It is striving to become one of the most competitive and leading aviation groups in the world by providing safe, secure, market-driven and customer-focused passenger and cargo transport, aviation training, airport management, and ground services.
