Ethiopia’s capital Addis Ababa will become a mega city in 20 years according to Alan Pardoe, Head of Marketing and Communications with Airbus, speaking at a press briefing held at the Sheraton Addis Hotel.

There are currently just 39 mega cities, hosting in excess of 10,000 long haul air passengers daily with this number expected to increase to 90 over the next 20 years he explained.

Ethiopia will need very large aircraft like the Airbus A380 as Addis Ababa becomes a mega city and Ethiopian Airlines grows requiring more new aircraft noted Pardoe.
