Ua hoʻolauleʻa ʻo Ethiopian Airlines a me Boeing i kēia lā i ka makahiki 10 o ka hoʻouna mua ʻana o 787 Dreamliner i ka mea lawe ʻAmelika.
I loko o nā makahiki he ʻumi i hala iho nei, ua hoʻohana ʻo Ethiopian Airlines i nā mana koʻikoʻi o ka 787 e ulu mau i kāna ʻoihana lōʻihi ma ka honua holoʻokoʻa, e hana ana i kāna hub ma Addis Ababa kekahi o nā puka alakaʻi no ka huakaʻi honua ma ʻApelika. ʻO Ethiopian Airlines ka mokulele mua ma ka ʻāina e lawe i ka 787 a i kēia lā ke hana nei i nā ʻauwaʻa hui ʻia he iwakāluakumamāhiku 787-8s a me 787-9s e hana nui ana i kāna mau ʻauwaʻa lōʻihi.
Ma ke ʻano o ka hoʻolauleʻa makahiki o kēia lā, ua wehe ʻo Boeing i kahi hoʻolālā hōʻikeʻike no nā hōʻike hoʻonaʻauao ma ka hale mobility o ka Hale Hōʻikeʻike ʻepekema ʻAitiopa. E hōʻike ana ka hale hōʻikeʻike i nā hōʻike mau mai Boeing a me Ethiopian Airlines, me kahi ʻike simulator 787 Dreamliner.
"ʻOliʻoli mākou i ka hōʻailona ʻana i hoʻokahi makahiki mai ka wā i hoʻomaka ai mākou i ka 787 Dreamliner mua i ʻApelika, e kūkulu ana i kā mākou hana paionia i ka mokulele ʻApelika," wahi a Mesfin Tasew, ka Luna Nui o ka Hui ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa.
"He mea nui ka 787 i ka hoʻonui ʻana i kā mākou lōʻihi a me ka waena
ka lawe ʻana i nā mokulele a me ka wehewehe ʻana i ka hōʻoluʻolu ma luna o ka moku no kā mākou poʻe kaʻa e hoʻomaikaʻi i kāna ʻenehana kiʻekiʻe a me nā hiʻohiʻona o ka hale kaʻa.
Mai ka hāʻawi ʻana i ka 787 mua ma 2011, ʻoi aku ma mua o 80 mau mokulele a puni ka honua i hoʻohana i ka Dreamliner e wehe i nā mea hou aʻe ma mua o 335 mau pilina paʻa ʻole a puni ka honua.
ʻO ka ʻohana 787, ua lawelawe ma mua o 1,900 mau ala, e lawe ana ma kahi o 700 miliona mau kaʻa ma luna o 3.3 miliona mau mokulele.
"ʻO ka versatility kupaianaha o ka 787 Dreamliner ua hana koʻikoʻi i ke kōkua ʻana i ka Ethiopian Airlines e lilo i mokulele mokulele nui loa ma ʻApelika," wahi a Omar Arekat, hope pelekikena o Sales and Marketing, Middle East a me Africa, Boeing Commercial Airplanes.

Hāʻawi ka ʻohana 787 i ka pono wahie like ʻole i nā mea hoʻokele e like me Ethiopian Airlines, e hōʻemi ana i ka hoʻohana wahie a me nā hoʻokuʻu ʻana e 25% i hoʻohālikelike ʻia i nā mokulele e pani ai. I ka huina pau, ua mālama ka 787 i 125 biliona paona o ke kalapona mai ke komo ʻana i ka lawelawe ma 2011.
