The Ethiopian Airlines Group has announced that it has entered into a partnership with Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) to set up a world class centre in the African country, which will convert Boeing 767-300ER airliners into freighter aircraft (designated 767 P2F). The airline group can already undertake in-country aircraft maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) activities. “In line with our diversified aviation business model of Vision 2025, we have been increasing our cargo capacity in fleet, ground service infrastructure and cargo connectivity network,” explained Ethiopian Airlines Group CEO Tewolde GebreMariam. “Accordingly, we are partnering with IAI, one of the global technology leaders in the aerospace industry, in building a cargo conversion centre in our MRO facilities in Addis Ababa Airport.”
