Ethiopian Airlines, fastest growing Airline in Africa is pleased to announce that it will be part of the annual Global Greening initiative of St. Patrick’s Day on March 17, 2017.

Africa’s first Ethiopian A350 will join a string of world landmarks in this campaign including New York’s World Trade Center, City Hall and Heron Tower in London, Plaça de Catalunya and the fountains on Gran Via in Barcelona, Pozzo di San Patrizio in Italy, Matsue Castle in Japan and the Diamond Bridge in South Korea in the “Greenification of the World” campaign which was launched by the Irish Tourism Board eight years ago. The A350 XWB is one of the most comfortable, innovative and fuel- efficient aircraft in the market.

Ethiopian Group CEO Tewolde GebreMariam said, “We are proud to join the world global landmarks for St. Patrick’s Day greening Africa’s first A350 XWB; our latest and game changing flying machine. The A350 is among the notable landmarks in Ethiopian 70-year history, with which Ethiopian has pioneered the extra effect to the African continent. Moreover, this collaboration is a continuation of the long standing social, cultural and economic collaboration between Ethiopia and the People of Ireland. I wish all a happy festivity.”
