Ethiopian Airlines Safety

Accreditation

• The United States Federal Aviation Administration accredits Ethiopian Airlines. Its registration number is ETIY 102F.

Safety Record

• According to the BBC, unlike many African airlines, Ethiopian Airlines has a good safety record. Prior to the recent crash in 2010 when a plane went down in the Mediterranean Sea, the last crash took place in 1996 during a hijacking when the plane ran out of fuel.

Aircraft

• Ethiopian Airlines only uses Boeing aircraft. It was the first airline in Africa to order the 787 Dreamliner and 777-200LR models. The latter is intended for long-range journeys.
