Ethiopian Airlines has once again reaffirmed its dominance in African aviation, clinching the title of Best Airline in Africa for the eighth consecutive year at the prestigious 2025 SKYTRAX World Airline Awards. The announcement was made during a high-profile ceremony at the Paris Air Show, held at Le Bourget Airport, where global airlines were celebrated for outstanding performance in service delivery, innovation, and customer satisfaction.
In addition to retaining its crown as Africa’s top carrier, Ethiopian Airline also took home multiple category wins:
- Best Economy Class in Africa
- Best Business Class in Africa
- Best Business Class Onboard Catering in Africa
The recognition further cements the airline’s status as a benchmark for operational excellence and customer-centric service across the continent and beyond.
A Consistent Leader in African Aviation
Founded in 1945, Ethiopian Airlines has grown into Africa’s largest and most profitable airline, serving more than 140 international destinations with a modern fleet and a strong focus on safety, efficiency, and sustainability. The airline’s ongoing investments in next-generation aircraft, staff development, and digital innovation have played a central role in its consistent recognition by SKYTRAX, an internationally respected air transport rating organization.
Group CEO Mesfin Tasew welcomed the awards as a reflection of the company’s dedication and customer loyalty.
“We are truly honored to be recognized once again as the Best Airline in Africa by SKYTRAX. These achievements are a testament to the hard work, dedication, and passion of the entire Ethiopian Airlines family. It also reflects the trust and loyalty of our valued customers across the world,” Tasew said. “We remain committed to exceeding expectations through world-class service and connectivity that bridges Africa with the rest of the world.”
Global Recognition, African Excellence
The SKYTRAX World Airline Awards, often referred to as the “Oscars of the aviation industry”, are based on the world’s largest airline passenger satisfaction survey, with millions of travelers participating each year. Airlines are ranked on a range of service quality indicators, from cabin cleanliness and in-flight entertainment to meal service and staff professionalism.
Ethiopian’s performance across multiple categories is a reflection of its holistic approach to aviation—balancing affordability with high service standards, while also championing environmental and digital transformation initiatives within the industry.
As the continent pushes for greater integration and connectivity, Ethiopian Airlines continues to play a strategic role in positioning Africa as a critical player in global aviation. With its unwavering focus on excellence, the airline is not only lifting the bar for regional competitors but also representing African ambition on the world stage.
