Flying Ethiopian Airlines A350 New Business Class Across Africa
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 янв 2023
- I continue to discover Ethiopian Airlines operations behind the scenes at Addis Ababa Airport. There are 2 peaks every day, one in the morning and one in the evening with many arrivals and departures connecting at Addis Ababa. Check out the latest Ethiopian Airlines Business Class lounge in Addis Ababa.
I boarded a new Ethiopian Airlines A350-900 to Cape Town, it has a new Business Class in 1-2-1 staggered layout. The pilot showed the A350 cockpit and explained the high-altitude operation at Addis Ababa and its limitation on takeoff weight.
Flight time to Cape Town is 6 hours from Addis Ababa, flying through Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania, Zambia, Zimbabwe, and Botswana before reaching South Africa. During the flight, traditional Ethiopian cuisine is served with injera bread. Discover more about Ethiopian Airlines' service and flight operation on the A350 in my video.
1:30 guys can we please appreciate the smooth landing Ethiopian airlines does
Yes, I've been on Ethiopian airlines several times. Always smooth and excellent flying experience.
Really appreciate Ethiopian Airlines BUT for landing, No. They practically drop that plane.
@@lbu9542 i admit, those 4 landings look neat but to say ALWAYS??? We practically 'slammed' into the ground at OR Tambo when we landed with ET couple months ago.
Ya
Heck yeah ❤🎉skills. My flights were pretty smooth 👍🏿
Hi 👋 from 🇷🇺 RUSSIA. My name is Dmitry. I have never been to 🇪 Ethiopia but now I really wish to visit this beautiful country. ETHIOPIA AIRLINES is the best on the African continent. Very beautiful stewardesses.
Love from ETH to Russia 🇷🇺! Much respect to your country as well 👊🏽

I stand in awe of the magnificent size of Ethiopian Airlines having more aircraft in it's fleet than Swiss Air, Air Austria, Air Belgium and even Air Portugal. In addition Ethiopian Airlines is developing a $5 billion new airport with capacity to host 100 million passengers per annum making it bigger than Dubai international airport and second only to Istanbul. It doesn't matter whether Ethiopia or Kenya is the fastest growing economy in Eastern Africa it matters that the African success story is repeated all over the continent. Thank you very much and have a great afternoon 🤗🤗
And has some of the worst safety practices and regulations in the industry ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@tylermerrell6457 Am not aware of that. Yes one 737 MAX went down together with one 737 MAX of Lion Air Indonesia for which Boeing was to blame thank you very much and good night 🤗🤗

@@ambessashield9360 Thank you very much Ambessa for liking my post have a wonderful day 🇧🇸🇪🇹🇪🇷🇨🇬🇨🇫
Ethiopian airlines is such an impressive Airline, I wish it and the Ethiopian people a bright future as an African powerhouse. May all of Africa prosper in the coming years.

@@addisababa_thank you
We are proud of Ethiopian airlines 🇪🇹, I'm from Kenya 🇰🇪 and a fan of both 787 and A350, happy that they fly wide birds across the African continent cheers.
Argee 1 hour flight
A350 is the best because Boeing always crashes for Ethiopia
I love the fact that they always introduce their national dish. A great way to promote their country.
First time I ever flew on a plane I was 9 years old, it was an Ethiopian Airlines flight. I was so amazed and mesmerized by aircraft and it was at that moment I knew what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. Today I am a Licensed aircraft mechanic working for an airline in my country.
😊beautiful story where are from
Ethiopian Airlines have totally cornered the aviation industry in the whole of Africa!
Their unrivaled expertise is second to none on the continent!
They have managed to avoid the corruption and ineptitude that have killed off other African airlines!
They are indeed the model airline for every start-up in the developing world!
Thank you. Ineptitude and corruption are the bane of Africa's development.
As a South African, I have to agree with you. So much meddling from our government has damaged our national airline beyond belief! South African Airways has been operating at a loss for so long, and the flight experience and food quality was at a coin's toss. You never know from one flight to the next, what you're going to get. Many South Africans prefer using Ethiopian for African travels.
What ever he said, I flied 3 times with Ethiopian Air lines, the best Air lines ever. A lot of food, very polite and smiling flight attendants and comfortable plane. Thank you Ethiopian Airlines!
I'm ready for my first flight with Ethiopian Airlines from Zurich to Capetown via Addis Abeba on March 3th, yyyeeaahhhhh and love so much the A350!!

Great choice they are capable👍🏾
Yes i am also a Fan of the a350❤
My first taste of injera...oh my word it was really strange and caught me off because I expected a pancake type of taste...but I was going to be in Ethiopia for a while so I decided to learn how to eat and I learned how to mix the injera with other things. The Ethiopians appreciated that I wanted to learn and I honestly started enjoying it in time..... Love to Ethiopia and Ethiopians😍
Ethiopian airlines have done well for themselves. I fly them regularly from Enugu to Addis then to other destinations. Thanks for taking us on your trip.

As an aviation enthusiast, and an African it just makes me so happy what Ethiopian Airline accomplished. They are just very good at this. Kudos for connecting our Continent

Hi Sam,
I am an Ethiopian, living in USA. Whenever, I am asked where I am from, I reply "I am from Africa." In this video, I am so proud of Ethiopian Airlines connecting Africa. Go mama Africa, go Ethiopia. Let 2023 be a year of peace and prosperity for Africa.
Ethiopian Airlines is the best airline in Africa ❤👍🏼
They have modern fleet of A350s, B777s, Dreamliners and also B737 max✌🏼
Love Ethiopian people, they have the best smiles!
Jeez, this is my highlight 🙂
Ethiopian is the most surprising airline in the world, for it to be operating a big fleet of the most technically advanced aircraft, 787's A350's that incredible man ✈️lots of love from botswana 🇧🇼💙and happy new year to all the aviation lovers
Yes agreed. It took on the role of Somali Airlines before it's demise in 1991 which uses operate A310 and even 747

Based in Nairobi, Ethiopian is my routine carrier. Always a pleasure, lovely crew and transiting at Bole is a breeze. 🇪🇹
Thanks for the video, Sam. My favorite Ethiopian food is Enjeera and Dorowot. You like it after getting used to the heavy spice. The spice stays on your fingers for a long time.
You mentioned that the growth of Ethiopian Airlines is a miracle. There are no miracles in aviation. The Ethiopian story and success is about proper planning, a lean cost structure, hiring the best for the jobs and a zero corruption environment.
Excellent comment thank you for sharing your wonderful comment
I love Ethiopian air line. When i was a young i tried many times to be cabin crew. But still follow and happy for its success . Interesting part is never flew even local flifht. I desire my beautiful doughter will serv in any proffesion after 🎓graduation .. thank you
They have the best taking off and landing ever....
We are Africans and Africa is our Business
I was there last year. Just outside Addis in a town called Debrezeyet there are some amazing lake side resorts. Worth a trip for any one looking for some sun.

Loved the intro landings...Africa is great no matter what the media says
Welcome to Ethiopia, the cradle of human kind, the home of many endemic Animals, the country with rich history and many mores.
Thank you for witnessing the true face of our Pride, Ethiopian Airline !
I Hope you will come back to Ethiopia again to visit historical sites throughout the country.

One of the best airline in the world. I always choose Ethiopian airlines 🇪🇹
Wow, loved it; now to Eithopia. Hey, I am going there becuase of Sam. From the passenger seat to CEO offices. Thanks again Sam, your my favorite channel on RUclips.
Haha, Sam… you don’t want to eat the injera by itself. I made that mistake the first time I had it, too. But then I leaned the injera is the “fork” and it changed the whole experience. When you use it to scoop the tibs, doro wot, etc into your mouth… 😋
Ethiopian Airlines Rocks*
The crew is dressed amazingly, really love it. I hope to fly them soon from my hometown Zurich.
They have a direct flight to Geneva . I think they are not allowed to compete directly with Swiss (star alliance) through Zurich airport
@@mchi6ta2 Flying from Zurich with Ethiopian is something new. The 787 makes a stopover in Milano MXP.
And soon the ZRH flight will be nonstop...... otherwise they cant compete with euro or ME airlines....
Sam, you look awesome in that tradition cloth! You’re right Injera can be quiet strong tasting until you get used to it. But once you get used to it. You can’t live without it. :-). I hope you enjoyed your stay in Ethiopia.
Good to see that the pilots are so young.
This is great and gives hope to younger pilots
I was seating in business class, next row to a young guy (early 20s).
Half way to the flight he went to the bathroom and came out dressed as a pilot. I was like 😮
Well they don't have that much experience.. Compared to USA pilots. The only thing that planes are not falling all over is the safety of the modern airplanes.. Except when one is not. The max plane that crashed both the pilots had very low experience... Didn't handle the situation.
@@Bren39it's the MCAS that failed them and not their flying experience... Boeing even claimed responsibility
Somalia is better
So impressed with Ethiopian Airline's world-class fleet!
Injera is delicious!! So is the A350
Thank you for this video.
Its was my first time with Ethiopian on 2th sept 23 from ABIDJAN to ADD.
And I felt in love with them.
Big stories. There is a lot of movies in the plane where you can learn how they made such a monster since 1940...
I am from Ivory Coast and i am proud of Ethiopian Airlines.
Good work
Wow so impressed at their inflight service and air crafts . Well done Ethiopia 🇪🇹
Ethiopian Airlines' big planes all have nicknames. "Africa first", "Lake Tana", "Mountain Nyala", "Queen of Sheba" etc.. When I look at Ethiopian Airlines' planes, I wonder what the plane's nickname is. :)
I love “Mother Theresa” and “Gelada baboon”. Their nicknames are exotic and nice 👍.
This is an A350 ET-AYN with Star Alliance livery. It has the name Selamta.
EAL is advertising the unique places & iconic figures in Ethiopia & Africa . "Two birds in one stone"
@@yohannesseyoum4249 they also do other cities outside of Africa. In the take off and landing there was Geneva, Rome. I saw Frankfurt and even Rio De Janiero. So it seems they'll name their wide-bodies after overseas cities they fly to.
@@giths19 yes, ET consider itself not only as Ethiopian but as a global connector. That's why it gives names from elsewhere to its fleet.
If they manage their country like how they manage their airline they would be amazing.
It has been awesome to watch you go through my beloved hometown.
🇪🇹🇺🇸
The lowering of the music when its engine noise time is just amazing.
I LOVE Ethiopian food! Then again I am Indian origin, so I love spicy food. Ethiopian food does have some resemblance with Indian food as well.
My goodness, I guess I have to book a business class trip by Ethiopian soon. Looks amazing overall - I love how smiley the hostesses are, and I love their ethnic dresses that are so colorful.
I wish we could get Ethiopian Airlines back at LAX. We really miss them there.
Ethiopian airline African pride.
Ethiopian Airlines have made remarkable progress. I wish it continued success.
🙏
ሰላም ለኢትዮጵያ ውዲቱ ሀገሬ💚💛❤ shalom for my beloved country 🇪🇹 and thank you for promoting Ethiopian Airlines.May the Lord Jesus bless you🙏 By the way you looked lovely with Ethiopian Culture clothes😍
American, European and Middle East business people and economists regularly discuss how challenging it is for airlines to operate highly profitable businesses even when they have large capital reserves. Ethiopian airlines is flying a newer fleet, growing and maintaining it's market presence ... The executive of this establishment are highly skilled.
P.S. It would have been valuable to hear a review of the traditional food from a national/local traveler. My first experience with wasabi ended in similar faces to Sam's as he tried the traditional food but now I'm slightly addicted to pickled ginger and wasabi.
Scammer 👆
I'm not at all Ethiopian, but I love injera and Ethiopian food. My mouth was watering watching the video. It doesn't have to be hot, but is always very flavorful (lots of influence from India) with a ton of originality due to Ethiopia's geography. And, as a fan of sourdough, I love injera (the bread). If you don't like sourdough, it's not for you!
I’m Ethiopian and that was my first reaction to trying kimchi for the first time. Now I like it. I had the same experience with sauerkraut but, I’m afraid I still have not developed a palate for it. 😂
You posted this on Christmas… merry christmas!
Ethiopian Christmas
Ethiopian Airlines pilots are awesome young men.
❤ you guys.
It has come to my knowledge that Ethiophia has the 3rd best ranked civilian Airliner among thousands in the world in safety..It is also top ranked in comfort and class. Ethiophia constantly makes you drop the.jaw
Very impressive, that food looked amazing. Would like to give this airline a try
My favourite African airline! Their business class is decent.
Sam I love Ethiopian food - as we say in New Zealand, you’ll need to harden up 😊 Great review as always
Melkam Gena Ethiopia 🇪🇹

Great video as always Sam! I always love seeing both the 787 Dreamliner and the A350!! 🎉 Can’t wait to try Ethiopian Airlines someday! 🇪🇹
ET always the best!
Look how modern Ethiopian aircraft and airport one of the best airline in Africa (And Actually it’s in Africa)
Hey Sam, very nice and great new year!! Both A350 and B787 are great aircrafts. However from interacting with students in aerospace engineering at Tuskegee University I learned that Airbus is more dedicated to their aircrafts. And I'm crazy about Ethiopian foods. Definitely send me the left overs!! Very very nice. Please keep coming out with more vlogs!!
Thumbs up from neighbouring Somalia 👍 Ethiopian airlines pretty much took on successfully the role of Somali Airlines in the African skies before it's demise in 1991. ✌️💖
Best ever business class experience I had….
The cabin crew is the most respectful and kindest world wide by far….❤
I really appreciate apilot who brought us from lalibela to Addis on Sunday afternoon around 10:40pm.
My family and I LOVE ETHIOPIAN FOOD! OMG, I hope hope hope it is offered on my flight!
That's what I would call a prime plane-spotting spot 😀I have always loved that part of your videos where the flight crew walk you through the flight plan, very interesting!
Proudly African ❤❤❤
I Love Ethiopian
No wonder, since you are Ethiopian yourself😄
First I wanna thank you for ur effort to show the best airline in africa the Ethiopian Airline, and i hope for the next time you'll see much improvements on boards andour Airports as well.
A beautiful airline, and very stylish and friendly cabin crew. 👍😊🛬🛫✈️🇪🇹
Glad to see you are making another Ethiopian airlines review 😊
excellently captured moments. Proudly Ethiopian.
I love flying Ethiopian airlines and welcome to my home, cape town SA
Many thanks Sam for visit Ethiopia and introduced our proud Ethiopian Air lines.
This is great video.
I wish for more African destination like morocco., ..
The lounge look very tempting
The lunch is like buffet , and that's the real food ( this is not 5 mnts (grill & flip plus salt), this food take years of experience to master single dish),
Thank you for this great video
Ethiopia is the most beautiful country in the world so come and visit another enormous wealth of Ethiopia. Ethiopia become the most dominant country across entire world because God is with us no matter what's going on.
Thank you Sam for sharing this beautiful part of africa in special of the Flag Carrier of Ethiopia.✈️ lots of love from Mozambique🇲🇿
Thanks Sami I loved it .I hope to fly with you when you come next time
Brilliant Sam, we love Ethiopian Airlines, and the injera is my favorite food, surprised you didn't like the taste, it's full of iron, Ethiopian king of African skies, soon to concur Australia. God bless you, always love your videos. Thank you.
Ethiopian Airline's they are doing great job in Africa
WoW finally Ethiopian airways. Sam you should review more African carriers please. 💪🏾
yess please !!! Sam can you do AirSenegal?

Today is a Christmas on ethiopian calendar
Not really. Ethiopia used the calendar of the Ethiopian Henock before the Egyptian dimetros came and changed it. 2015 is Egyptian not Ethiopian.

I admire the business model, unfortunately I would not fly them. That said, ET is an example of what can happen with good vision and leadership. They put Kenya Airways and Kenya to shame, deservedly. Good Sam Chui content as usual, I first knew of him when he used to do aerial shots at LAX, before RUclips. Arguably one of the best aviation photographers out there today😁
Thank you Sam for sharing your experience with your viewers! You’ve done an amazing job of make it easier to know what to expect on these airlines! I’m a big Emirates , Singapore airlines fan and hopefully to get to travel soon! I’m trying to get my hands on one of the Emirates business class amenities kit for quite some time with no luck! Anyway thank you again
@@mohamedsarhan6520
It's not real, scammers
Sam - great video! I would not have guessed at the quality of Ethiopian Airlines.
I remember my first time having Ethiopian food. At first we all laughed when invited out by a friend. We couldn't imagine what that could be. (We lived in a time when starvation in Ethiopia was top international news.) But, we were so pleasantly surprised!
I would love to go there someday and experience it firsthand. Thanks again!
Such a biased comment, thanks for being surprised that Ethiopia is able of achieving such things. Why is it always needed to mention the surprise. That alone shows the Bias!
@@markbogers4097 Yes, I believe I admitted my bias. I'm in my 60s and I remember when Ethiopia was a complete disaster. I haven't followed developments there over the past few decades - so yes, it was pleasant to see things are much better there than when I was younger.
@@christoney2491 To be honest that was Tigray region of Ethiopia, many Ethiopians in the South, Addis Ababa, and Amhara any other place other than Tigray was untouched no one was starving, it was the 1% of the people who made the 100% starve, not to say it did not happen but very foolish how the songs portrayed it to be completely, such as "It won't Snow in Africa"
@@OutletR Thank you. Yes, much of the world gets "information" filtered through political lenses. Another reason why I enjoy Sam's videos so much, is that he travels to places I've never been and shows them in an interesting and entertaining light. I really like his channel.
@@markbogers4097 Ethiopia had a major famine in the 1980s when the Marxist government fought the Eritrean rebels (who won in the end) and used famine as a weapon of war. That is a fact, not bias. The famous Live Aid concerts were held in 1985 to help with Ethiopean famine relief. Fortunately Ethiopia now has a normal government that helps to develop the economy and doesn’t starve its own citizens.
Please more African content because I lIve in SA!
The pilots seem quite young compared to other airlines I've watched on your channel
cuz they enter the aviation academy soon as they completed university.
p.s. it is highly competitive to get into.
Well in WWII it was not unusual for a fighter pilot to be 21 years old or younger. Not sure why people get so hell bent with younger pilots and I am not young.
the reason other countries seem to have older pilots is because most of them require pilots to pay their way into the industry which is very expensive. Then you have to build your hours and experience by flying smaller planes + being a flight instructor. In the US you can skip the high costs by being in the military but you have to be lucky and work for the military. For African airlines looking to grow and cant afford to lure foreign pilots, it only makes sense to run your own flight schools, pay to train your own pilots from within your borders. The pilots pay off some of the loan by working for them.
With pilot shortage looming, you'll be seeing a lot of young pilots. The countries/Airlines that depended on the old models will be forced to invest in their own flight schools because luring other pilots will become very expensive and unsustainable.
It’s because Ethiopian airlines pays for your education, it’s basically free unlike in most other countries where it’s extremely expensive. Thus you have to work for years and save unless you’re born into wealth. Btw the main captain in this video isn’t young, we Ethiopians just look younger than we are 😁
@@ambessashield9360 Young compared to other countries' pilots. The main captain can be in his middle age. Young enough compared to other carriers' pilots.
The Kuala Lumpur International Airport are waiting for the Ethiopian Airlines. ❤️❤️
One of the great destination of Ethiopian airlines is Kuala Lumpur since 10 years back.
Good to see some airlines from Africa. Quite eye opening.
Awesome video! I hope to fly them if I ever go to Africa.
When not if, believe me it’s amazing here 🎉 (media only show the bad stuff.. like if homeless ppl would represent LA)
