Ethiopian Airlines wins Best African Airline

ETHIOPIAN AIRLINES GROUP, the largest aviation group in Africa, has won the 2020 Business Traveller Award as the Best African Airline in 2020.

The award was announced recently, by the publishers of Business Traveller magazine, Panacea Media. The Business Traveller Awards are voted for by readers of the magazine, with the results produced by an independent research company, and are widely recognised as the market’s benchmark for excellence.

A fixture of the business travel and hospitality calendar for more than 30 years, this year’s awards were based on the survey which took place from April to July 2020 concerning readers’ experiences of the previous 12 months, and before the widespread restrictions on business travel that were imposed by most countries in mid-March.

Ethiopian Airlines won best African Airline beating other leading African carriers, SAA, Royal Air Maroc and Kenya Airways. Ethiopian now sits alongside other leading carriers, with Singapore Airlines who won awards for Best Economy Class, Best First Class, Best Asian Airline and Best Cabin Staff. Emirates was named Best Inflight Entertainment, Virgin Atlantic Best Premium Economy Class, and Easyjet Best Low-Cost Airline. Delta Air Lines was named Best North American Airline, and Aeroflot Best Eastern European Airline. Pride

Michael Yohannes, Ethiopian Airlines, UK & Ireland Director said: “We are thrilled to win this prestigious award from Business Traveller readers and to be recognised as Africa’s leading airline.
