Ethiopian Airlines doesn't operate a traditional hub-and-spoke network. These are the airports where ET has the most flights. You fly direct between cities rather than connecting through a central hub.

49 aircraft types appear on ET routes. This includes aircraft operated by partner airlines, not just Ethiopian Airlines metal. Large mixed fleet across the partner network. What you actually sit on varies by route.

Ethiopian Airlines Operating Partners

Not every flight with a ET number is actually Ethiopian Airlines. These partner airlines operate routes under the ET code. Your booking and flight number say ET, but the plane and crew belong to one of these carriers.

On shorter routes from the hubs, this usually means a regional jet. Smaller plane, 2-2 seating, less overhead bin space. Check the aircraft code when you book. If it says E175, CRJ, or ATR, that's a partner regional jet.
