Ethiopian Airlines (Amharic: የኢትዮጵያ አየር መንገድ, romanized: Ye-Ītyōṗṗyā āyer menged), formerly Ethiopian Air Lines (EAL), is the flag carrier of Ethiopia,[30][31] and is wholly owned by the country's government. EAL was founded on 21 December 1945 and commenced operations on 8 April 1946, expanding to international flights in 1951. The firm became a share company in 1965 and changed its name from Ethiopian Air Lines to Ethiopian Airlines.

The airline has been a member of the International Air Transport Association since 1959 and of the African Airlines Association (AFRAA) since 1968.[32] Ethiopian is a Star Alliance member, having joined in December 2011. The company slogan is 'The New Spirit of Africa.' Ethiopian's hub[33] and headquarters are at Bole International Airport in Addis Ababa, from where it serves a network of 155 passenger destinations—22 of them domestic—and 68 freighter destinations.[22][21] The airline has secondary hubs in Togo and Malawi.[34][35] Ethiopian Airlines is Africa's largest airline in terms of passengers carried, destinations served, fleet size, and revenue.[36][37] Ethiopian Airlines is also the world's fourth-largest airline by the number of countries served.[38]
