KUALA LUMPUR (Dec 13): Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd said Ethiopian Airlines’ Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner's inaugural flight from Ethiopia to Malaysia will cater to increasing passenger traffic from Africa.
 
In a statement, Malaysia Airports said Ethiopian Airlines’ first Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner made its maiden flight to the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia on Sunday (Dec 10).

Today, Malaysia Airports managing director Datuk Badlisham Ghazali said in the statement: “We first welcomed Ethiopian in the year 2012. It has been more than 5 years since we first started our business relationship and we are happy to see that it has grown from strength to strength. With the increasing passenger traffic from the African continent, the introduction of the Ethiopian Dreamliner is timely and will cater to the rising passenger load factor. 

"Thus, we are absolutely confident that Africa’s leading carrier will grow even further, thus benefitting our two countries and at the same time, will further promote KLIA’s status as a preferred hub in the region.”
