Ethiopian Airlines Cargo Revenue and Boeing Fleet Reliance Grow

Ethiopian Airlines reported a significant performance milestone in the 2025/26 financial year, transporting 897,000 tons of cargo. This cargo segment now contributes approximately 23 percent of the airline's total revenue, which reached a record 9.1 billion dollars. The airline's cargo operations saw a 16 percent increase in volume compared to the previous year. Strategic reliance on Boeing remains high, with 80 percent of the current fleet and 82 percent of new firm orders being Boeing aircraft. Boeing official Brad McMullen noted that an Ethiopian 777 freighter achieved the highest global utilization rate for a commercial aircraft last year.
