Lagos and Dubai are the first stations to receive Ethiopian Airlines brand new baby, the Airbus A after Ethiopian Airlines last week became the first airline in Africa to take delivery of the ultra-modern airplane.
This is another milestone for the airline after it became the first airline to bring the Boeing B Dreamliner to Africa and to Lagos. Ethiopian has ordered 14 of the spanking new aircraft. The other 13 will arrive in due time but starting from this month, the A will be flying the Lagos and Dubai routes. It is also a testimony of our commitment to give our passengers the very best travel experience, with the latest industry products and services.
The A XWB was built for passengers comfort and well-being as foremost priorities. Wider seats in both Business and Economy classes, the lowest twin engine noise level, advanced air conditioning technology and full LED mood lighting enhance passenger comfort while reducing fatigue after a long flight. All seats of the A XWB are fitted with the latest high-definition touchscreen personal monitors and a higher selection of movies, television series and audio channels. Inflight Wi-Fi connection will be made available on the aircraft in the future.
Passengers with smart devices can connect to the world while others can use the smart individual touch screens on their seats when the internet service goes operational. Its revolutionary airframe and simplified systems have optimized fuel burn, maintenance costs and reliability, and its engines have the lowest carbon dioxide CO2 emissions of any in the wide body category.
