    Thank you for this report
    Ethiopian aviation is one of the best airlines in Africa and has a very good fleet and a plane at a good level, for example, Dream B787 advanced plane and also Airbus 350
    Fleet size 117
    Destinations
    125
    Thus in terms of fleet and destinations it is the best airline in Africa competing with both Egyptian and South African

    I flew with ET form Frankfurt via Addis to Cape Town and it was an amazing trip. The crew was fantastic and friendly and the aircraft (a350+787-9) were awesome and were one of the main factors why I chose ET and your review. Ironically, I had the exact same meal you had on my flight from Addis to Cape Town and to Frankfurt, it seems like they serve the same meals quite often, but it tasted great.
    The only downside of flying with ET for me was the airport in Addis. It is way too small for the number of passengers passing through it.
    Still, it was a really great experience and I wouldn't hesitate to fly with them again.

    As an Ethiopian, I feel so proud we have a great African carrier that is very successful. And it breaks my heart to see that the government is selling off this highly profitable, lucrative and high growth company to international investors. This is a company that is the source of pride not just for me but for many Ethiopians and even Africans. Ethiopians look up to this company and draw inspiration from it when almost all other institutions in the country are in sad state of disrepair. I strongly believe the company should stay Ethiopian. If the government wants to cash out, thats reasonable but sell it to Ethiopians. If the government wants foreign currency then engage the huge Ethiopian diaspora community who will gladly scoop up shares in the company. This will help preserve the company’s Ethiopian soul.

    Another one of your videos and another hit. Nothing new there.
    Never hesitate to point out a messy surrounding, politely and discreetly; they appreciate that. I once had a Brussels airlines flight attendant scrape gum off the back of a tray table at YYZ. Another time, on air Canada had to remove litter from the seat picket. I’m always polite and they respond accordingly. They could have easily wiped the wall and tray table for you. Once I asked for a wet cloth, but they insisted to clean themselves.

    The Victoria falls is falls belonging to the zambezi river. The falls are located on the border of zambia and Zimbabwe. The falls were named after doctor david Livingstone discovered them during his trip to northern Rhodesia ( currently known as zambia). The zambezi river has its source in zambia and it belongs to zambia. People should visit the zambian side of Victoria falls where the infamous knife edge bridge is located. The falls are just a short while from the local city of Livingstone.

      “How can it be blood”? Really? Do people not get bloody noses or cuts anymore? It looks red and it is out of place. Yes he could think it’s blood. Probably not but it could be. Why is that such a taboo topic to you? Has nothing to do with “putting Africans down”. If I saw something like that on LH or DL I’d ask the same thing. Get the chip off your shoulder already.

      Definitely no rust because the interior walls of airplanes are made out of plastic. My guess is it was some kind of sauce, i.e. food from the passenger who was in the seat before me...

    Glad to see Ethopia got itself together. People were starving to death there not too long ago.
