Ethiopian Airlines adopts new strategy to save fuel on regional traffic surge

Ethiopian Airlines, Africa's largest carrier, is adjusting its operations to cope with tightening aviation fuel supplies while benefiting from a surge in rerouted global traffic. The airline is employing technical stopovers on long-haul routes, allowing it to conserve fuel at its Addis Ababa hub while maintaining full passenger and cargo loads. This strategy helps to sidestep performance constraints typical of high-altitude airports.
