Diamond sparkles with new Ethiopian order

 Ethiopian is currently implementing a 15-year strategic plan called “Vision 2025” which targets it becoming the leading aviation group across the whole of Africa and the selection of modern training aircraft is part of that goal.

Equipped with Austro Engine AE300 turbocharged jet-fuel engines, Diamond planes are perfectly suited for the African market because of the scarcity of AvGas.

“We are happy to be part of Ethiopian Airline’s modernisation plans,” said Amila Karagic, Diamond’s sales director for civil aircraft.  “Our products are the safest in their class and combine modern composite airframe design, state-of-the-art avionics similar to those used in airliners as well as highly efficient modern engines. Over the past six years, Ethiopian has been enjoying all of these advantages and has again considered Diamond Aircraft to be the best choice for their operation.”
