Chinese investment has resulted in new maintenance hangars for Ethiopian at Bole.

One of 19 Boeing 787-8s in service with Ethiopian; the carrier also operates two 787-9s with another two due for delivery.

Despite receiving new-generation Airbus A350-900s and Boeing 787s, Ethiopian's six Boeing 767-300ERs, recently upgraded with new lie-flat seats, will fly with Ethiopian for another five to six years.
