► ETHIOPIA: Ethiopian further delays 787 service to Harare & Lusaka.

With Ethiopian Airlines (ET) having to wait longer and longer for the delivery of its Boeing 787 Dreamliner, so too has it had to postpone its subsequent use on its introductory routes.

Previously, Ethiopian announced delays in the 787s introduction on its Addis Ababa - Johannesburg and Addis Ababa – Dubai, and this has now been followed by an announcement of delays on the Addis Ababa – Harare and Addis Ababa – Lusaka routes.

Originally planned for entry into service on 16 September 2012, so Zimbabwe and Zambia will now have to wait until 28 October 2012 before catching a glimpse of the Dreamliner. Until then, the present status quo will be maintained i.e Addis Ababa - Harare - Lusaka - Addis Ababa will be operated with a Boeing 767-300.
