Ethiopian Airlines (ET) on Wednesday took delivery of its second Boeing 787 Dreamliner. It arrived at Addis Ababa Bole Friday and made its first scheduled flight to Paris the same day.

ET is the first African carrier to own and operate the 787 (ATW Daily News, Aug. 15).

The carrier currently operates five flights a week from Paris to Addis Ababa with connecting services to destinations in West, Central and South West Africa such as Cameroun, Kinshasa, Brazzaville, Libreville, Douala, Malabo and Pointe Noire.

ET will use the second 787 on routes to Europe, the Americas, the Middle East and Asia.
