Ethiopian Cargo set to expand further its Addis Ab

(www.cargofee.com) News Broadcast：

Ethiopian Airlines is planning the next expansion phase of its Addis Ababa Cargo Terminal-II facility, which opened in July 2018, to accommodate 1.2m tonnes per year.

The new 38,000 sq m facility increased Ethiopian Airlines’ previous throughput capacity at the earlier single terminal operation to nearly 1m tonnes per year from 350,000 tonnes.

A spokesperson for the ACUNIS joint venture, which planned and implemented Ethiopian’s second cargo terminal at its home hub, said: “The largest air cargo terminal in Africa has been running to capacity since the beginning of the year.”

 In March this year, Ethiopian Cargo took delivery of its first B737-800 freighter, with a payload capacity of more than 23 tonnes.

Africa’s largest airline has seen its freighter fleet grow rapidly over the last decade, evolving from two leased MD-11Fs to an inventory of eight new Boeing 777 freighters – with more to come.
