"Ethiopian Airlines is the first African airline to order the GE90-115B-powered Boeing 777-200LR aircraft and was the first African airline to order GEnx engines for its Boeing 787 aircraft," said Kevin McAllister, vice president and general manager of Sales, GE Aviation. "GE Aviation is extremely proud of the trust and confidence Ethiopian Airlines has in our outstanding engine products, and we look forward to working with them to ensure successful entry into service."
