by Thamik Hanane It is also one of the few airlines that consistently turn up a profit in Africa.Ethiopian has invested heavily in modernizing its fleet, which is now the youngest in Africa at 5.4 years as of March 2019. Very difficult to predict.”In the early days of the pandemic, Ethiopian Airlines was criticised domestically for refusing to follow competitors like Kenya Airways by suspending flights to China, where the coronavirus originated late last year.But Tewolde said he would make the same call today, pointing out that Ethiopia’s first case of COVID-19 – the disease caused by the coronavirus – turned out to be a Japanese man who arrived in the country from Burkina Faso.The airline’s China routes now form the backbone of its cargo operations as countries scramble to get their hands on Chinese-produced personal protective equipment and other goods.This task is made more challenging by the fact that passenger flights, which can carry cargo in their underbelly, are down so sharply.“Right now, there is a severe short-term shortage of cargo out of China,” said Craig Jenks, head of the New York-based Airline/Aircraft Projects Inc. consultancy.Long-haul cargo rates are “at least double normal”, Jenks added.At the start of the crisis, Ethiopian Airlines had 12 cargo freighters, and it has since enlisted “10 to 15” passenger jets to build out its fleet, in some cases ripping out seats, Tewolde said.That capacity falls short of competitors like Emirates and Qatar Airways, but Jenks said cargo could still potentially give Ethiopian as much as 40% of its normal revenue.As the severity of the crisis became clear, Ethiopian executives “reached out to the diplomatic community to offer further cargo services and highlight their ability to offer chartered/special flights”, a State Department official said in a statement to AFP.The airline expects to be deeply involved in Africa’s pandemic response.On Monday it finished distributing the second batch of masks, testing kits, ventilators and other supplies donated to African countries by Chinese billionaire Jack Ma.And last week the United Nations opened an aid transport hub in Addis Ababa that will rely on Ethiopian cargo jets to move supplies and aid workers across the continent.Tewolde said this represented “a continuation of our leadership in Africa” even during periods of conflict or outbreaks of other diseases like Ebola.“All kinds of problems that Africa has suffered, we have always stood with Africa,” he said.The company is determined not to lay off members of its regular workforce, though it could resort to pay cuts depending on how long the crisis lasts, he said.The current cargo boom could start fading in June, and passenger traffic could stay suppressed well after countries lift travel restrictions, he said.Yet Tewolde said Ethiopian remained committed to long-term growth plans including building a new $5 billion airport outside Addis Ababa.“We will do whatever it takes to make sure that we survive,” he said.
