Ethiopian semble "surfer" sur la bonne vague, la compagnie est rentable et prévoit un plan d’expansion très ambitieux impliquant l’arrivée de gros-porteurs dont 12 A350-900 (2017) et 5 777-200 LR (oct. 2010) viennent d’être commandés, et qui s’ajouteront aux 8 787-8 et 2 787-9 (qui seront probablement convertis en -8) déjà en commande.

Les plans d’expansion sont largement évoqués dans l'article ci-dessous:

Ethiopian Airlines has been barred flying to one of its international routes, Djibouti, after a dispute between the Djiboutian Civil Aviation Authorities and the Airlines.

Djiboutian authorities banned the Ethiopian Airline’s flight as of Sunday August 1, after giving a preliminary warning to the airline to use jet propelled aircrafts, as opposed to the turbo propelled Bombardiers currently used by the airlines, Ethiopia’s Capital Newspaper reported

Ethiopian Airlines, in March this year, bought eight Q-400 Next Generation turboprop aircraft from the Canadian Aircraft manufacturer Bombardier Inc. aiming to boost its domestic and regional flight operations including Djibouti and Yemen.

According to Girma Wake, Chief Executive Officer of EAL, major airliners across the world use this kind of aircraft for routes such as Canada and America; and France and Germany.

According to him, the bilateral agreement between the two parties does not specify a fleet type to be operated by the carrier. The carrier has a say in deciding what aircraft to operate while the Djiboutian authorities determine the traffic.

The Djiboutian decision sees the Ethiopian carrier banned from one its longest serving routes. Flights to Djibouti began when the airline was formed in 1946.

Girma has meanwhile promised that negotiations are underway and that interrupted scheduled flight services will resume as soon as the problem is solved.

“We use our traffic right and will try to respond positively to their demand as much as possible. We will try to respond to legal and fair terms but if they insist on unfair and illegal terms, we cannot do anything. You cannot fly to their country without their consent,” Girma qouted in the newspaper.

The CEO explained that Ethiopian wants to fly to Djibouti to facilitate trade ties between the two countries. However, the CEO suggests Ethiopian will only fly to Djibouti if terms and conditions that secure both sides’ interests are restored.

According to Wogayehu Terefe, Ethiopian Public Relations manager, the airline is currently using the services of other airlines that fly to Djibouti to transport their clients.

The public relations officer further added that the airline apologizes to its customers for the inconvenience created and is doing its best to resume the interrupted flight.

On parle de la création d'une compagnie spécialisée dans le domestique. En tout cas tout va bien, pour ET. Asky est pour l'instant une réussite, le 1er 772LR sera livré fin novembre (les routes sont dispo ici) et la compagnie a un nouveau dirigeant, qui remplacera, le très charismatique Gima Wake. On parle aussi de Toronto, qui est en projet depuis 3 ans, mais plusieurs fois annulés en raison des retards du 787.


By Kaleyesus Bekele

The Ethiopian Airlines is to implement a new restructuring program that will transform it into an aviation investment group.

The management of Ethiopian recently developed a 15-year development strategy dubbed “Vision 2025” aimed at making the airlines a world-class airlines.

Reliable sources told The Reporter that the main objective of the development strategy is to restructure the national flag carrier into an aviation investment group which will have six subsidiary companies. The executive said Ethiopian will commercialize its different departments,
including the Maintenance Repair and Overhaul (MRO) Center, Cargo Service, Catering, and Aviation Academy.

Based on the development plan, under a parent company Ethiopian will have six different business units. The domestic flight service will be incorporated as a new domestic airlines that will have its own management team. The domestic airline (Et Domestic) will feed passengers to the major airline that will render international flight services.

Ethiopian to transform itself into an aviation groupThe second subsidiary company will be ET Technical. By commercializing its maintenance and engineering department, ET Technical will be a separate business entity that will provide line maintenance, repair and overhaul service to ET domestic, ET International and other domestic and international carriers. ET’s MRO center is certified by the Ethiopian Civil Aviation Authority, FAA, Boeing and Pratt and Whitney. The MRO center has been providing repair and overhaul services to major African and Middle East carriers.

In 2006, Ethiopian inaugurated a new maintenance hangar at its hub at the Addis Ababa Bole International Airport built at a cost of 6.4 million USD by a Chinese construction firm called CATIC. With the capacity to handle aircraft as big as the B-747, the hangar covers 7,200 sq.m. As Ethiopian placed firm orders for 37 jetlinners - 10 B787, 10 B737-800, 12 A350XWB and 5B777 - it is planning to build another maintenance hangar that will accommodate the new fleet. Ethiopian recently acquired six Bombardier Q400 aircraft and two more are coming by the end of this year. Staffed by more than 550 certified technicians and engineers, Ethiopian MRO center provides maintenance and overhaul services for B-767, 757,737,727,707, DH6, ATR42, Fokker50 and L-100. Ethiopian provides MRO services to 67 airlines from Africa, Europe, the Middle East and Asia.

Ethiopian will also incorporate its Cargo department into a new company dubbed ET Cargo Services. The company envisions making Addis Ababa an African cargo hub. ET Cargo will transport cargos destined to Africa from Europe, the Middle East and Asia to Addis Ababa and then from Addis Ababa it will haul the cargo shipments to different African countries. ET Cargo will strive to have a major market share in the African cargo business. Ethiopian cargo has two B-747F, 2B-757F and 2 MD11F. With cargo aircraft, Ethiopian has the largest cargo fleet in Africa.

In May 2006, Ethiopian inaugurated a new cargo terminal built at the cost of 30 million USD. The cargo terminal on 1,400 sq.m of land has the capacity to handle 250,000 tonnes of cargo per annum.

The Ethiopian flight school and the aircraft maintenance technicians training center will also be upgraded into an African aviation academy that will operate as a separate business unit. The pilot and technicians training schools have been training Ethiopian and foreign nationals, mainly from African countries. The aviation academy will increase its capacity and expands its market share by admitting more trainees from African and Middle East countries. In addition to basic flight education it will render simulator training services to Ethiopian and foreign pilots. The flight school has simulators of B-767, 757 and 737. It is planning to acquire B-787 simulator in the near future.

The other subsidiary company will be ET Catering which will provide in-flight catering services to ET Domestic, ET International and foreign carriers.

The other business unit is Ethiopian core business, marketing passenger. This is Ethiopian national flag carrier that will provide international flight services in Africa, the Middle East, Asia, Europe and North America.

An Ethiopian industry analyst lauded the development strategy developed by the management of Ethiopian. The analyst said that commercializing the various business units such as the MRO and cargo service is the order of the day in the global airline industry, adding that Egypt Air and South Africa Airways have done the same.

Sources said the management of Ethiopian would soon appoint new executives. Some Ethiopian senior executives have been transferred to ASKY Airline (a newly-established private airline in West Africa in which Ethiopian has a 25 percent stake) and Nigerian Airways. According to sources in the management, new appointees will be assigned in the vacant positions.

With the 15-year development program Ethiopian plans to boost its annual revenue to 10 billion USD from the current 1.3 billion and the number of aircraft to more than 100 from 43. The national flag carrier has attained its five-year development plan “Vision 2010” by raising its annual revenue to one billion USD.

Ethiopian Set to Connect to Star Alliance This Week

The carrier expects to be incorporated into the network by the end of 2011

Ethiopian Airlines is to become a future member of Star Alliance, a network of 28 airlines, as of Wednesday, September 29, 2010.

High officials from Star Alliance network and chief executive officers (CEOs) of some of the member airlines of the network are expected to attend the ceremony to be held on Wednesday at the Sheraton Addis to officially announce the acceptance of Ethiopian as a member, sources told Fortune.

Over the past couple of years, the airline had indicated its interest to join the network but only applied for membership early this year.

The announcement would make Ethiopian Airlines the third African airline to join Star Alliance, the biggest network of airlines, joining South African Airlines (SAA) and Egypt Air. The alliance was established in 1997, by five airlines: Air Canada, Lufthansa, Scandinavian Airlines Systems, Thai Airways International, and United Airlines.

Star Alliance member airlines have code sharing agreements which is a practice of multiple airlines selling seats on the same flights giving passengers more departure times to choose from on a given route and easier connecting and transferring between flights.

Ethiopian Airlines already has a code sharing agreement with around a third of the 28 member airlines of the network. It signed an agreement with Scandinavian Airlines Systems in March 2010, and with SAA in early September, bringing the total number of airlines in the alliance it has code sharing agreements with to 10.

After the announcement on Wednesday, it is expected to take from one year to a year and a half for Ethiopian to be integrated into the network, these sources told Fortune.

Currently, Aegean Airlines, a Greek carrier, and Air India, soon to become the 29th and 30th members of the alliance, are undergoing the integration process with Ethiopian Airlines expected to become the 31st before the end of 2011, according to sources.

Jaan Albrecht, CEO of Star Alliances Services Management GmbH since 2001, is expected to make the announcement of the acceptance of Ethiopian to the alliance which Hussien Massoud (Eng), CEO of Egypt Air, is confirmed to attend.

Star Alliance network reported revenues of 156.8 billion dollars in June 2010, flying 627.52 million passengers on 4,027 aircraft. The inclusion of Ethiopian Airlines which flies to 59 destinations, 38 of which are in Africa, is expected to give the alliance a major boost in its coverage of the continent, according to industry experts. Ethiopian took the contract to manage and operate ASKY, a West African community based airline, in which it is a major shareholder with 25pc of the total shares.

The national carrier, which currently has 41 aircraft in its fleet and 50 more on order, was ranked the number one profitable airline in Africa in 2008/09 with a registered profit of 128 million dollars.

Girma Wake, the outgoing CEO of Ethiopian is to see a major achievement by the airline before he leaves his post at the end of this year.

South African Airways, the biggest airline in Africa, is in talks with Ethiopian Airlines and Egypt Air about starting a new carrier on the continent, Sake24 reported, citing SAA Chief Executive Siza Mzimela.

The state-owned company is expected to announce the new airline “within months,” the Johannesburg-based news agency said. The airline will operate in central and West Africa, according to Sake24.

SAA, Egypt Air and Ethiopian Airlines will all likely own minority stakes in the new venture and provide technical and managerial services, the news agency reported.

Central African countries in which the new airline is likely to operate include Gabon, Cameroon, Chad, the Democratic Republic of Congo, São Tomé & Principe and the Central African Republic,

FlightGlobal:

Ethiopian Airlines considers 777F and more A350s
By Victoria Moores

Ethiopian Airlines is eyeing Boeing 777 freighters and more Airbus A350s as part of its new strategy for the period to 2025, which will see it expand to a fleet of 119 aircraft.

Ethiopian has selected the latest-variant Boeing 737s as its short-haul type and is replacing its medium-haul Boeing 757s and 767s with 787s. But while it has 777-200LRs and A350s on order, it is still evaluating its long-haul options. Chief executive designate Tewolde Gebremariam says the carrier will add to the 12 A350s it has on order, but the first will not be delivered until 2017, so more 777s may be an interim solution.

The 777s may also make up for delays to Ethiopian's 787 deliveries, which were to have begun around September 2011 until the recent test programme fire incident "put a question mark over that plan", says Gebremariam.

The 777 also features in Ethiopian's freighter evaluation. Ethiopian operates two Boeing MD-11Fs, two 757 freighters and two 747-200s on lease from Southern Air. By 2015, it expects to have grown its freighter fleet to 16 aircraft.

"The 777 is highly efficient, but there is a contour [size] issue," says Gebremariam. "It is big, but not as big as the 747, so we might take 747-400s, but we are still doing our evaluations. We are looking for three or four aircraft immediately."

Separately, Ethiopian has joined forces with EgyptAir and South African Airways in an informal co-operative grouping that could lead to equity investments in smaller carriers.

Through the informal tie-up, the three airlines aim to make their African coverage more complete. They plan jointly to fill network gaps and offer connections to countries with weak carriers or no air links.

"We are the three biggest airlines on the continent," says EgyptAir chairman Hussein Massoud. "A lot of destinations, especially in central and west Africa, are not covered, and if passengers want to get from 'A' to 'B' they need to go via Amsterdam, Brussels, Paris or wherever. We feel guilty about this and we want to do something about it."

En gestation depuis plusieurs années, c'est maintenant confirmée.

http://www.postzambia.com/post-read_art ... leId=19127" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Lusaka: Africa's aviation giant Ethiopian Airlines will soon open its third hub in Lusaka, which will serve as a southern African regional centre. Making the announcement at the Ethiopian Airlines headquarters in Addis Ababa on Friday, chief executive officer Tewolge Gebremariam said Zambia had been selected to host the airline's regional centre owing to increased traffic demand and its geographical location.

“I am pleased to say that we plan to open our new hub in Zambia. This will be the third hub after the headquarters and another one which was opened in Lome (Togo, west Africa) last year. Zambia is a major commercial destination and we recognise that we have the highest market share in your country,” he said.

Gebremariam further said the airline would this year introduce a direct flight between Lusaka and Addis Ababa without diverting to Harare. “That plan is already underway, but we are waiting for our new 737-800 planes to arrive which will service that route,” he said. And Gebremariam announced that Ethiopian Airlines made a US $123 million in net profit last year.

He said the success recorded in 2010 had enabled the airline to add three new 777-200 Long Range (LR) Boeing aircraft to its fleet.

“We spent about US $750 million to purchase our new 777-200 LR jets. These are very successful Boeings with the main advantage of flying over 17 hours nonstop. The new jets will service the Addis Ababa - Beijing route,” Gebremariam said.

He further said Ethiopian Airlines had started the process of transforming to Ethiopian Aviation Group which shall consist of a group of companies with their respective profit centres providing passenger and cargo air transportation, aviation training, flight catering, maintenance and overhaul services.

He said this was contained in the Airline's vision 2025, which would also see passenger handling increase from the current estimation of 3 million to 18 million per year.

Meanwhile Gebremariam bemoaned the sharp increase in jet fuel prices owing to the unrest in Libya and other oil-producing countries. “It will be very difficult for us to beat the US $123 million profit recorded last year because of the increase in jet fuel price from US $800 per barrel to US$1,110. This is mainly because of civil unrest in the Middle East and other oil-producing nations,” said Gebremariam.
