There are many investments happening throughout the supply chain as companies try to both stay resilient against continued disruption and also capitalize on growing demand. Ethiopian Airlines makes plans to grow its air cargo fleet to lean into the need for freight, specifically near-term cargo demand and angle itself for positive future growth. The five new planes are Boeing 777 Freighters.
