The airline is expected to spend billions of dollars to acquire these planes.
“The 777-200LR aircraft, which entered service in March 2006, has the capability to connect virtually any two cities in the world non-stop. It will enable Ethiopian Airlines to connect Addis Ababa to the U.S. and to more destinations in Asia non-stop,” said airline.
Ethiopian’s 777-200LRs are configured to carry a total of 321 passengers and a full cargo load on routes where other planes are limited.
