In a continent where geography has long determined who receives services and who does not, Ethiopian Airlines has taken delivery of a Twin Otter Classic 300-G — a small, rugged aircraft built by De Havilland Canada and designed precisely for the places where conventional aviation cannot go. The acquisition reflects a quiet but meaningful commitment: that remote communities and hard-to-reach destinations deserve a seat in the national story of connectivity. It is less a fleet expansion than a statement about which corners of a country are worth reaching.
