    ETHIOPIAN Airlines has taken delivery of a 10th Boeing 777 freighter to grow its air cargo capacity.

    The twin-engine commercial cargo plane, due to be operated by Ethiopian Cargo, has a payload of more than 100 tonnes.

    "We are delighted to announce that we took delivery of our 10th Boeing 777-200LR Freighter aircraft," said Ethiopian Airlines in a LinkedIn post on November 8.

    In September last year, Ethiopian Airlines signed up to lease three Boeing 767-300ER converted freighters from Titan Aviation.

    And in 2021, Ethiopian partnered with Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) to launch a B767-300ER freighter conversion line at Ethiopian MRO facilities in Addis Ababa.

    Last year, Ethiopian also signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Boeing to purchase five 777-8Fsand ordered five Boeing 777Fs.

    In total, it currently operates an all-cargo fleet of ten 777Fs, two 767-300Fs (with a third earmarked for conversion) and four 737-800Fs, according to London's Air Cargo News.
