This, however, does not come as news to those who keenly follow the state-owned flag carrier as they broke barriers some months ago when they deployed an all-female crew for a special flight from Bole International Airport in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia to Murtala Mohammed International Airport in Lagos, Nigeria.

Lately, the Ethiopian carrier, which commands the biggest share of the pan-African passenger and cargo network, has been making major changes to its processes, including fully digitizing its operations and providing free Wi-Fi to all customers using its main hub.
