Ethiopian Airlines, Ethiopia’s flag carrier, failed to sell a Boeing 725 aircraft at an auction which listed the aircraft for 80,000 birr. The airplane is being auctioned for the breach of a maintenance contract between Ethiopian Airlines and owners Trans-Saharan Airlines. 
Ethiopian Airlines requested the High Court to postpone the sell because only seven bidders took part in the auction.
The Ethiopian Civil Aviation Authority graduated eight air traffic controllers trained to use both Automatic Dependent Surveillance- Broadcast technology and Surveillance System Radar.
The training offered is part of the agreement between ICAO Technical Cooperation Bureau and the Ethiopian Civil Aviation Authority to train a total of 24 air traffic controllers.
The Automatic Dependent Surveillance- Broadcast technology is a more advance, accurate and cost effective as compated to the radar system said Muhammad Kuwaji, International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Project Coordinator speaking at the graduation ceremony.
The Ethiopian Airlines Aviation Academy has been officially recognized as an approved part-147 type maintenance training organization by the European Aviation Safety Agency.
The recognition from the European agency approves the Ethiopian Aviation Academy to offer international standard technical trainings to produce a professional work force for itself and other carriers.
Ethiopian Airlines, the fastest growing and the most profitable Airline in Africa, has graduated 52 Aviation Maintenance Technicians, 47 Marketing and 25 Finance trainees on December 26, 2103 at a graduation ceremony held at the airline's Headquarters.
