Ethiopian Airlines has a rich history dating back to 1946, when it first took to the skies with five small planes at the behest of Emperor Haile Selassie. Despite navigating significant challenges, including four major wars, two revolutions, and three constitutional overhauls, the airline has emerged as Africa's largest and most profitable carrier. Now, it's set to take its operations to new heights with a massive airport project that's poised to become the continent's largest.
