Ethiopian Airlines revenue jumps 20%, state news agency says

State-owned Ethiopian Airlines’ ​full-year 2025/26 revenue rose 20% from ‌the same period a year earlier to $9.1 billion, state-run Ethiopia News Agency said on Wednesday.

The state-owned carrier, ​Africa’s biggest airline, said passenger numbers increased ​by 10% to 20.7 million in its ⁠financial year to July 7.

Cargo freight rose ​16% year on year to 897,000 metric tons.
Ethiopian ​Airlines, which operates more than 150 aircraft, said in April that it would buy six additional Boeing 787-9 ​Dreamliner jets to expand long-haul services.

The carrier ​said in June that it would decide within three months ‌on ⁠an order for 25 smaller commercial jets to expand its local network.

The airline added nine aircraft to its fleet over the year, the ​news agency ​said, adding ⁠that the carrier has also expanded its facilities at Addis Ababa ​Bole International Airport.

The state-owned company did not ​disclose ⁠profit figures, but the news agency said that financial performance was affected by flight cancellations ⁠caused ​by conflict in the Middle ​East and the Ebola outbreak in Democratic Republic of Congo.
